I found some inHome Dec fabric, but I had waited quite a while to cut it, so I couldn't return it. Now I am going to check fabric when I wash it. and I will return it even then if I find a bad flaw.

QUILTERS!!!! Please, Please, Please - always watch your fabric when it is being cut. Used to manage fabric store. Two sets of eyes are always better than one set. When fabric is run, sometimes they do DUMB, DUMB, DUMB things just to get it out. Fabric is wtg. on the bolt, so when it comes into the store it is not unfolded before someone wants it cut (just on fold to desplay), I have forgotten to look at the store before and then washed when I got home then found flaws (when ironing or folding). Even after washing return it to the store, if they have the same bolt you can look to see if you can see the flaw. Because I have seen fabric that looks great, but after you wash it the flaws come out. I haven't seen as store not return fabric with recipts even after it was washed.

It amazes me that with cotton fabric prices going up as much as they are that the LQS has to "eat" the flaws. I work for Shaw and if there is a flaw in the carpet, the source of the flaw is responsible for the claim. We are talking thousands of dollars folks. Fabric prices are approaching the cost of flooring, too bad the fabric manufacturers aren't as quality conscious as we are. Every step is tested by QA techs. Cost of doing business.
