Check the return policies, ask questions, maybe take a chance, If you love the fabric and feel the price is right
Yes this!
Most of my fabric is older 70s-80s and up. It came from all kinds of back grounds and was mostly donated to me. The only problem I have had is musty smell and pet hair. Give it all a good wash and iron it. Overall I feel it is a little thinner and narrow but sometimes it is thicker if it is brand name. If it is what you like and the price is good, I'd say try it.
