Excellent point Prism! We hear from other experiences of how much they end up cutting to get rid of the frayed 'rips' off the end of the fabrics. I always wondered how far up the damage would go. So, when done...how much did they get off that yard they paid for?:)
{"When did cotton become a delicate? Is it because most quilters didn't start out as clothing sewers?" }
The answer to me for this question is prob when we were not paying $10-12 a yard! And, when someone is paying more for a yard like that it looks cheap to rip! I find fabrics valuable...of value in my opinion...to rip shows no respect for the person buying it or the 'value' of what you are sending out after purchase. I would be personally ticked if someone ripped a purchase! Here they rotary cut...using a ruler to line up straight both ways! And I have never had any complaints about it! I'm proud to take it home!! Skeat..........who btw, does not know how to 'sew'...
