Equilter lists fabric end cuts by the pound and says one pound of fabric equals about 3 to 3-1/2 yards.

Wow, how horrible to lose all that fabric. And everything else you may have lost. I'd hate to throw out all that fabric, couldn't you take it out to the back yard and use a garden hose to get the worse off and then throw it in one (or 3) of those large machines at the laundry mat?

And before people start yelling, I've never been in a flood where sewage was involved. I really am asking for the knowledge in case it ever happens to me. And I love fabric and hate to lose good fabric.

OHHHH such a terrible thing, all of it. Sorry to hear of your losses but as long as you and the family are fine that's all that really matters. Cliche but true. Good luck with the insurance!

We live in the Kenmore area. We were out in that storm on Sunday in the Cuyhoga Valley Park area it was terrible. I couldn't believe the 'rivers of water' on the roads!

3 yards of fabric equal a pound. Don't know about batting. Will check my large container and give you an estimate as how much fabric I have it. Hopes this helps.

I go through the National Park everyday and I had been there the day before and thought that the water looked really low. Then it rained and here come the floods. It seems like it just can't rain normal. I used to live in NH and it would only flood if you were near a river. I'm having trouble with my porch roof. I had a brand new one put on when I had the house and garage done. It's worse than the one I had. This winter when we got the ice storm it backed up and froze on it and then it separated from the house. I had it nailed back up but it rains in the porch so I think I need a new one. It's not even 3 years old. Where you in the flooding when Copley got flooded? Pat
