Sorry. So check the top of the bolt before you buy it.
I try to ask my customers what they are using the fabric for so I can direct them to what they need and direct them away from what may not work. It's still up to them to buy what they want, but I point out washing directions or fabric content. Wish more co workers and fabric dept people would do that.
