The Spring brand fabric that Wally has and may still carry will really shrink. I was making something using some red spring fabric and a friend was pressing the blocks for me. When I started to sew them together with the other cotton fabric pieces, they wouldn't fit. I had carefully cut and was dumbfounded about the problem, so I cut some more red squares and re measured them after they were pressed-lo and behold it shrunk almost a half of an inch. I had already washed it since it was red. I have never used any more spring fabric. Glad to know about their Waverly brand. Several years ago, our Wally carried fabric and had some very good quality fabric, but that was before Mr. Sam passed away, I think a lot of their quality items have really diminished since his death. Now it seems that $$$ is all the children care about-find and sell the cheapest items, not satisfying the customers with good quality products.
