Diff weights of fabric
I have been wondering this for years. There are so many different weights of just cotton quilting fabrics alone that it is confusing to me as to why. I know diff. manufacturers, etc. What makes a thin fabric like Kaffe Fassett better than a cheap or inexpensive fabric that is thin? I have a lot of KF fabrics and some are so thin sometimes I think I shouldn't be putting them in a quilt. Then some of the same fabrics from the same manufacturer are heavier all in the same price range.
I can get out 30 different fabrics for a project and there are many many different weights of fabric, so just wondering. I know there are different processes but do you think expensive thin fabrics last as long as the same priced heavier fabrics? I hope I explained this well enough. Please help. Thank you.
