Whether the fabric is "printed" or not may not be as important in a quilt as it is for apparel. With apparel, the print may wear off at the elbows or the buttocks where you sit on it. Just want to remind sewers to be more diligent when choosing fabric. This also happened at my local quilt shop. Prices are going up but fabrics are being "printed" rather than "woven". I believe that the[ATTACH=CONFIG]304443[/ATTACH] quality is different and, therefore, the price should also be different. Maybe it's time to start complaining. What do you think? Would love your input. Photo below shows "woven" fabric on left versus "printed" fabric on right. Yolanda Wood River
