Hi, I saw some fabric on line that I like. It was made by "Santee Print Works". I'm not familiar with this manufacturer and since I'm ordering on line, I can't touch it first. Has anyone heard of/used this brand of fabric??
Thanks!

I have found the quality to be lacking with Santee fabrics. It is very thin fabric, but I guess it would be fine for backings.

its very thin - if you're going to be using it for a wallhanging that will never be washed it would be ok but i wouldn't trust it for anything else.

it just won't stand up to the test of time and use.
