I have a lady near me that use to own a fabric shop and closed it about 5-10 years ago and has the fabric in her home where she sold it. Now she wants to sell it all but I am a little concerned about the age. It was quality name fabric so may be ok. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |
No problems with this fabric. The good cotton, and even the not so good cotton (i.e. feed sacks from the 1930s) do very well aging wise. I wouldn't have any concerns about buying it.
|
As long as it has been stored well, I wouldn't have any concerns buying it :D:D:D
|
depends how it was stored. I've had fabric rip very easily due to ageing in less than desirable conditions. a neighbor gave it to me. I kind of give things a little tear test now when someone gives me stuff, before I use it in a quilt.
|
I hope she is selling it at a good price. :-D
|
If it was good fabric to start with, it will be fine.
|
It would easily last that long in a quilt, so I wouldn't worry about it at all.
|
Watch for fading or yellowing. I bought fabric recently and the bottom pieces that sat on the plastic container had yellowed and where it creased it had faded.
|
Just check to see how she stored it... make sure that there is no moisture damage and you are fine :lol:
Happy Shopping :mrgreen: |
Hope you get a great deal!
