Any one else seen the JoAnns announcement?
 

I got an e- mail announcement from Jo Anns this AM .. they have 26 fabrics now made entirely in the US. Has anyone seen these in person? How is the quality? I am hopeful they are more in the line of their premium cottons.
I am hoping more US manufactured fabrics become available. Any other companies making the switch back to US manufacturing?

I read one earlier this morning. perhaps it's been moved or deleted.

I saw their email but I haven't seen them in person yet.

Hurray for US made products!!!

I got the e-mail and will go to Joann's later this morning to see what the American made fabric looks like. I always loved all of the fabric mills and paper mills...I so hope they are going to come back home!

Pretty cool!!!

The last fabric mill was closed for good some years ago. I wonder where the fabric is being manufactured? Refitting an old mill is very unlikely.

I saw some of it the last time I was there. Beautiful fabric, great quality and only $6/yd. not a huge selection though.

Here is a link to the fabric manufacturer. It will be sold in several stores. I'm interested in checking it out. Click the store locator. It shows many, including Fabic.com that so many of us like.

Next time I am in WM I will check there, seems like I have seen some of this material there already. Some is very pretty.

Will be looking for the fabrics and pleased they will be carrying fabric made in the USA!!

Subject: Made in America fabric question

Message Body:
Why does the description say "do not iron"?

--

I love Fabric.com. There fabric is of excellent quality.

I saw in another thread that "Made in America" may not mean "Made in the USA." It could be made anywhere in North or South America. I wonder how we can find out? If it's not made in the USA, the "Made in America" advertising is deceptive.

I would love to buy stuff made in the USA. I was told that made in America doesn't necessarily mean the United States of America. It could be South America, North America,etc. I hope it's made in the United States. I would love to buy things made in the USA.

I am going to check that out....

I contacted them asking if it is made USA...no answer yet.
