Quality of Springs Industries Fabric
I bought a few yards of pink floral "Springs Industries, Inc." Fabric from a lady getting rid of much of her stash. Now I'm wondering if this is good quilting fabric, or something less than LQS quality. It doesn't feel great. When I bought it, I was such a new quilter that I didn't know the difference. Now I'm a bit more careful. Does anyone know if this would be good for quilting? I only use LQS fabrics in my quilts ... guess I'm a "quilt snob". Also, when the salvage does not have the designer's name, I'm thinking that also means to stay away from it ... generally. Thoughts?

Spring Industries does not typically manufacture top of the line. If it looks like cheap goods next to the other fabrics .. it will always look like cheaper goods. I think your fingers are telling you something is not the same ... it probably is not equal. But some of the top of the line manufactures do use conditioners on the final finish of fabrics and can give a impression of a soft feel , washing is the only way to get to the real comparison.
