It was a beautiful display fabric and you could feel the fabric and see the drape.
When I used to work in Joann's years ago, that's the way fabric was folded, and it made it so much easier to feel the hand of the fabric and see the quality. I wish it was still folded this way. Then I wouldn't have to have to get all the bolts out that I want to look at, and unwind them to see the patterns.
