That's good info. However, it got the old brain in motion and made me wonder about the fabric itself. Since we are using cotton, a natural carbon based fiber, is that enough in itself to attract the bugs? I have had no problem with all the fabric I store (and it's a good amount). I keep it on shelves in a closet with louvered doors -- in my sewing room that is a converted garage. In MI there is plenty of humidity. I do wash all my fabric before it's stored. I think that's the real secret -- no starch or sizing during storage.

Thanks for the info. I like to use Magic Sizing, and don't have problems. I wash my fabrics as they come in the door, but do not use sizing until ready to spray, iron and use the fabrics.

Thanks, for the information. My can is empty - and it is the Faultless, so I'll try this instead.
