Good advice, Michael! I had the same thing happen with a cut piece of a few yards, but luckily, I was cutting it myself when I noticed a few areas that were flawed-a couple had dye imperfections (like the fabric might have been creased when the dye went over it) and also a couple places that had (hard to describe)a lump of threads in one space. I bought that fabric overseas, and it wasn't the best quality (I was learning then), and luckily had enough to cut around it. From now on, I will check it!!
