I don't think it matters WHERE we have purchased our fabric. It's just that some fabrics shrink more than others. This has happened to me, but the one that was "shrinking" had some polyester (it was a broadcloth) content so it was the cotton setting on the iron was "melting" some of the fabric away and causing it to shrink. I changed my iron setting and got better results. One other thing I did in order not to lose what I had already done was: I trimmed the pieces a little smaller to make the ends even (these were strips I was piecing, so it worked)
