I have used quite a bit of his fabric (bought a couple of fat quarter bundles and half yard assortments) and did not think it was any different than most of everything else I've got.

However - I thought that the company that was making his fabric went out of business a year ago, and then another started up and what I bought a few years ago may be very different than what is being sold right now.

Ditto, but mine were precuts. Does anyone know if there's a difference between the yardage and precuts? There shouldn't be, but maybe?

Yes, I think the fabric has gotten thinner. I recently purchased some, prewashed it and was very disappointed in the feel and weight of it.

To me, his fabric feels softer, more drapeable, but not necessarily thinner. Never had any issues with it.

While sorting thru a lot of Laurel Burch fabrics collected over a period of years I found the quality (hand) to vary a great deal. When I asked I was told that the pattern was purchased (or whatever it is called legally) but what quality of cotton goods it is printed on can vary. This may be what you're seeing.

Received a kit with some of his fabric. Some of it was very nice and other pieces were thin which surprised me. Definately difference in feel between the fabrics.

Just do not try selling it for a profit on this board !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think thinner is necessarily bad, and in fact, can mean a higher thread count. I love the thin, papery feel of some Art Gallery fabrics. I'd be more concerned about a fabric that felt thick and coarse over one that feels thin and silky.

There are definitely different weights of the Kaffe fabrics. I have a bunch made by Rowan and they almost feel like rayon, while others seem to be printed on regular weight cottons.

I've never noticed a difference in the ones I've purchased over the years. Just purchased a few FQ's of a new line last week.
