I am pretty sure CT never advertised their fabric was made in the USA. What they used to advertise was that their fabric was made with USA grown cotton. The mills are still located outside the country where the end product is made. If you go to their website, nowhere does it state the fabric is made in the USA. These two links will probably answer a lot of your questions:

I have always found them a very easy company to do business with. One time I ordered a yard of batik from them and they sent the wrong color. I contacted them, they said keep the wrong one and sent me the right one. Great customer service.
I also did business with The Artists Club back when I did tole painting.
