BINGO!

Barb, that really DOES go for the other fabrics too. It even gets worse when the fabrics are washed and dried, which naturally thins them over time.

I DO have one of those 18 ounce kilts, and there's NO WAY that I'm going to sew-it up! I appreciate the fingers that God gave me, and I want to keep them!
