Count me as a happy content customer! Everything I've made from their fabrics has washed wonderfully and fading has not happened. On my latest quilt, their representative found the perfect color thread for me - she was a real person that cared about a customer.
I am always careful with any saturated color for a project, from any manufacturer. I do not wash fabric before using it - I wash a sample to make sure it does what I want. I prefer the dimention of stitches!
