FF ... Thanks for the updates! I wasn't trying to set off any alarms when I asked my questions. I didn't know who made, distributed, etc. the fabrics, and just wanted to clarify if it really was a concern or not for all the JD fans.
For me, it's not a huge issue, as I have a IH and Case history. Though I will probably try to find some sooner, rather than later for some projects I know I'll want to do for a few people.
I really do appreciate your sharing this info, and any other inside scoops you give us. I really do like seeing the fabrics before they land in the shops ...... and find it fun when you ask for opinions as you are making your buying decisions!
