The fabric feel is yuky...not sure I really want to give this to my mother. Very disappointed in the fabric...colors are very pretty but the feel is very odd and the way it shrunk was really weird..at least I learned on materail that I did not pay 12.00 a yard on .
To paraphrase Dorene Speckman - if you don't like the fabric now, you probably won't like it 20 years from now

Sometimes it's better to just ditch the unliked/icky fabric, and replace it with something you do like. Is it really worth it to try to salvage X$ and mess up the rest of the project?
