Hi everyone, I have some fabric made by Troy Riverwoods (Nature's Way Revisited) that I've had for about 5 years in my stash. I washed it and made a block out of it but boy is it thin. Has anyone used this stuff in a quilt before and how did it hold up? I don't really want to do all this work if it's not going to hold up. I can see my fingers through it. UGH! the only problem is that the colours in it are PERFECT for what I need it for and I can't seem to find anything online that is even remotely the same. Double UGH!!! Has anyone used this with success? It frays easily too....

never heard of it, but could you use wonder under and use the fabric that way since it is so thin???

Maybe back it with fusible interfacing? What a shame, I would be heart sick :(

Never used it , but maybe wash it again and see how it holds up ?

I agree with using fusible interfacing, then quilting heavily over it. It's a shame the quality is low in a beautiful piece of material. Good luck

I have some fabrics from Troy Riverwoods and haven't noticed a problem...maybe it's just this fabric...
