what an interesting concept, lol, throwing fabric out , but there are
"grades" with anything.
I've read all the replies and admire the ingenuity and the energy.
I've only had one bleeder in the past ten years and as far as I know
I got it stopped.
This thread makes me realize it's back on a shelf somewhere waiting
for me. I know I will recognize it when I come back across it bc it's
a lovely raspberry solid.
I hope when I wash it again it stays that way!
I'm much more careful about any purchases and haven't made one
in a long time,...a few years, except for a fat quarter here or there.
I'm downsizing so the most likely culprits will go first.
Not a fabric snob, but I'll be keeping the quilt shop fabrics first and
then we'll see.
I see beautiful quilts made from Joann's, walmart, hobby lobby and
stores like that and I've shopped in all those places myself.
It's durability that I want among other things.
The only reason I keep any pieces smaller than 2.5" is bc i love
applique. It has to be pretty or interesting though, otherwise
it's gonna go...somewhere.
