I bought several yards for an evening suit and it was badly flawed. I was in a time crunch so had no choice but to make the outfit. I made the owner aware of the problem and got no satisfactory response. Actually, the silence was deafening. Leads me to believe they sell an inferior product, hence the low price(s).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841274998543254268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-35459017814951506752011-07-20T17:14:57.410-06:002011-07-20T17:14:57.410-06:00I've spilled wine on my silk, too. there is a ...I've spilled wine on my silk, too. there is a marvelous product sold here (Canada) called Wine-Away; works on silk.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891587047334551451.post-5814706619894686212011-07-20T10:34:41.474-06:002011-07-20T10:34:41.474-06:00" DH believes that clothes aren't really ..."

She had samples of clothes made up using her patterns and I commented on the dupionni fabric. She highly recommended Silk Baron. They have a sale or maybe two sales a year on all the roll ends. You have to sign your email up in advance with them to receive a special invite to their sales, but they don't spam you with lots of info. The sale yardage is small, but good for small projects. You may only get a 1/2 yard or a 1 yard piece of 45" fabric, but the quality is superb. The colors are to die for.... or is that to dye for!Pretty Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906500691272393898noreply@blogger.com
