OurWorkbench--It's a HP windows. I love the HP's but windows 11 gives me troubles all the time.

toogie--I agree as I will collect any fabric that I can use for sewing before I let it get thrown away. There is always something I can make out of it. I just can not see any fabric that is useable get tossed into the trash. If Momma would have been there she would have grabbed it and never let it go.



One thing I see I did not mention is that the fabric was measured after the hot water wash (with shout color catchers to prevent fading) and dried in a hot dryer. So it might have been even longer when I brought it home. All my cotton goes thru the hot water wash before I use it so I know it has already shrunk if it is going to do so. I do not believe in cold water for cotton fabrics as it is still able to shrink. I just use the Shout Color Catchers to prevent fading. They work wonderfully. I even reuse them as they work until they almost turn black.
