Henry Glass is a well known and very good company too... thats very odd...

I may be off base here but I believe that all cotton will shrink that is 100% cotton. I am 66 yrs. old and grew up wearing a LOT of cotton feed-sack dresses, etc...and remember that we always knew that anything made of cotton was going to shrink. I think that's why they started added the polyester to the fabric-mix...to cut down on the shrinkage. . . and some of that might shrink to some degree.

i, too, wash in hot water and dry in high heat. if something gets on the quilt, especially things like vomit or hairballs, i'd wash that quilt in the hottest water i could get! and so would most moms! so, if it's going to shrink i want it to do it before i give it away, not after. so far i haven't made any "for display only" quilts, other than dq's, so real life is what my quilts face.

Mhollifiel, How eloquently said! I bet you were a very good school librarian, too.

Perhaps we should make a point of complaining since most fabrics are done in China. Companies are starting to come back to the USA as they are finding out they are not really saving money going there. Quality is so poor. So I say we need to get those companies back to our soil.
sadly, don't think textile manuf. are EVER coming back to the US ... that ship has sailed ! |

Like many of you, I continue to follow this thread hoping to hear a response from Henry Glass. To that end (and because I'd like to see if there's a reason for this, especially one that would be useful to us consumers), I contacted HG via their web site, http://www.henryglassfabrics.com/contact/ Here's what I said:
Many of us are following a thread regarding your fabrics on Quilting Board http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...e-t213149.html We're hoping for a response/ explaination as this discussion continues. Many thanks! Don't know if this will expedite any response but it can't hurt! Have a great "low shrinkage" day! |
