Yes you should return fabric that has that kind of flaw in it! It really should not make any difference why or how the flaw got there. reuten it even if it is cut. Sometimes fabric flaws are not easily seen as it is being cut. Fabric shops or deprtments should be made aware of defective fabric and they in turn may be able to return it to the manufacture. All that said- there may be reason why you do not or can not return it. dstance, really like fabric, willing or can around flaw. If you do not return the fabric at least call the store and tell them about it. so they can check the bolt and pull it so others do not have this issue. Also maybe they would compensate you is some way for the inconvience. .
