In the last few years I've notice backing material is lighter weight than 44" yardage. The weave is not as tight (causing shrinkage). The hand is different too. I just bought some Grunge 108 backing and noticed it was not the same weight as the 44" yardage. Have you noticed the quality of backings declining. Are there brands you would recommend that are consistent in quality with the bolt yardage?
Thanks!
