I too, am a fabric fondler....and I confess that I go further than fondling...I have been known to actually take it home with me and love on it!!!! Thank goodness I don't work at a fabric store or they might fire me for admitting things like this to my group...!

It's the right thing to do! If your fabric knows you love it, perhaps it will be more cooperative when you start cutting it and running a sharp needle over it.

Guilty as charged. That is why I do not buy on line. I cannot feel it. Now do I have a problem or what.

Oh,Lord! Fondling sounds kinda KINKY...I pet fabric. Sometimes I can almost hear it purr!! We all do have a problem!

Hi my name says it all.

I'm a petter, too! And I don't limit my petting to fabric on the bolt. I walk through clothing, bedding, towels, you name it, with my hands out and fingers splayed just petting. And I haven't been arrested yet.

I'm into feasting my eyes, draping fabric all over the house to look at. Sometimes I actually cut it up and make quilt tops! Then I drape the quilt tops all over the house. I hate to have company over because I'd have to put it all away!

Recently started giving my scraps away because of their explosive properties and the fact that I don't use them. I'd walk out to the living room to find that they had somehow escaped their storage and seductively strewn themselves all over the place. Parting was such sweet sorrow...but it was more humane than giving them a life sentence in a locked box or a drawer. Two weeks after they went to their new homes, I woke to find a room full of 'scraplings' had hatched...

Cathyvv you crack me up " I woke to find a room full of 'scraplings' had hatched..." That happens at my house too LOL only its not just scraplings (I luv that) I just finished sewing my 9 patches for my Irish chain quilt, It seems they had multiplied while the light was off and I ended up with 323, 6 1/2in 9 patches Maybe I'm suppose to make two quilts? I might have to leave the light on from now on.

Hi, My name is Sheila and I am a fabric fondler... Who is going through serious withdrawals at the moment.... I am getting cranky and depressed. My fabric is getting packed up and there is no fondling or sewing going on at the moment. My favorite fabric to fondle is a hand dyed sueded fabric I bought from a place on Etsy. But I will fondle any kind of soft looking fabric anywhere.
