I'm still not sure why 'not suitable for children's clothing' is stamped on some selvages of smooth, woven cottons.
I think it may say that because it's not fire retardant like I think fabric actually sold for children's stuff is supposed to be. It's just to prevent lawsuits, I'd imagine.

I look at it this way, that cloth has held up in quilts for years so I would think it would be fine for kid's clothes.
