Thanks, Jeanne, for taking the time to snap that photo. They had probably a hundred bolts of blender fabrics at the LQS, so I saw plenty of examples, I just couldn't figure out what it was exactly that differentiated them from other categories. All the descriptions have helped. Now I know that if I am looking for a fabric that will look solid from the other side of the room, but has a visible pattern or texture on it up close, then I want to ask for a blender fabric.
Learned something new.
