After recently running out of a particular fabric, and looking all over the country for some I learned that I should have been keeping the information on fabric of any I think/thought I might want more of. So my plan now is this – Keep the selvage with the fabric name and the manufacturer and an inch of so of the fabric for information should you need to buy more.

I hope this might help someone out there who runs into the same issue I did. Not sure where I will keep them but am thinking maybe a 3 ring binder with clear page protectors.

Another good tip I received from the manufacturer of the fabric I sought was this. Check out QuiltShops.com and you can search lots of shops and refine the search to the manufacturer and fabric name. There are lots of shops listed to check out.  Best of luck all and yup, I am still trying to find the fabric I wanted – see rope picture on this blog. If any of you happen to have some……………….let me know and thanks in advance.
