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:

Does it work? LOL. I also have a daughter that calls fabric cloth.

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

i call it fabric my dh calls it material

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

Or maybe we could just call it CLOTH.

I'd rather be know as a "Fabric Girl" than a "Material Girl" :lol:

you say poTAYto, I say poTAHto - same difference

my mother always refered to fabric/material as cloth
