I ordered some fabric, in solid black, to begin a quilt--a whopping 10 yards worth. I washed it, hung it to dry and began to cut it apart for various blocks. I struggled and struggeld to get my points to match. I have NEVER had this much trouble. At first, I blamed it on my thread, then my machine, then....I began to wonder...could it be the fabric??

So, I experimented and made all the other colors first, then this god-awful black fabric was added. As I ironed my seam, the fabric, shrunk before my eyes---almost 1/4 of an inch different.
Buyer Beware! They do sell some junk.
