Default Some things I have learned about buying fabric . . .

About buying fabric -

More has been woven and printed over the past 50 years that I have been buying fabric - so it may not have been necessary to have purchased all that I did a long time ago.

Some prints seem to be available for a very short time - usually the ones I only bought a small amount of and later do not seem to be available anywhere - maybe I should have bought more of it then?

I have learned to check the grain lines while the fabric is still on the bolt - it may or may not straighten out when it is washed. The older I am getting - the more I try to avoid hassles.

If it is printed off-grain - it is printed off-grain and no amount tugging or tearing or blocking will get it on-grain.
