I have fabric as far back as the 70's and all my mine is fine- I have fabric scraps from fabric I ordered from Sears catalog -does anyone else? I have heard different" do's and don'ts" over the years as far as storing your fabric and mine has been changed so many times - don't know what is best. I used to refold all mine bez I believe if left folded the same way too long you'll get a fade line. That's my story on having to touch all my fabric and I'm sticking to it.
