My mom calls it "goods". I always have to stop for a second and try to figure out what she means.

I call it both and try to convince my husband that I need this FABRIC since I only have MATERIAL at home, and vice versa. :mrgreen:

I think the answer lies in how old one is & the local custom where we live.

I work for an auction company and when we write up an ad the other girls in the office don't sew AT ALL so they say material and I proof read and change it to fabric. My husband is a carpenter and he uses materials. So funny
