I got quite an education
I had no idea all this was involved in the making of fabrics. Such an education I got reading this. My hope is to see an updated version, especially regarding any new fabrics and battings (such as bamboo). One thing I had hoped to see, but was not in the book, is how dyed yarns are woven into fabrics. She only goes into how fabrics are printed after they are woven. At places, I had trouble following the processes she described. She would show line drawings of a process, but then either parts were not referred to in the text or were called a different name. Using consistent names, a line drawing of each process from start to finish would have been nicer. Clearly she enjoyed her private tour of the mill. Nice photos, but sometimes they were hard to orient to. Overall, great job and very informative.

Well-written Gold Mine of information about Quilt Fabrics
Loved this! I’m taking a quilting class and this helped me out so much with purchasing materials. It also has great info on checking warp and weft, cloth dyeing methods, and many other things about the fabrics you use, and an excellent section on batting and other quilt fabric topics.

If you’re a fabric geek – this is for you
A tad outdated, but a wonderful introduction to how fabric is made. If you geek out over fibers (Yarn/thread/fabric) – this book is for you. 🙂 The photos are old/outdated-ish, but still a solid reference guide.

Learn where your fabric came from.
Very interesting book for the quilter to read to understand our fabrics and how they are made. It tells about all the fabric coatings, and chemicals used in the process. Maybe you will want to wash off the chemicals before one uses it. I got it as a kindle book to read. Harriet Hargrave writes many excellent quilting books, so I thought she would be very knowledgeable in this area. If you want to know where your fabric came from and how it is made, or the best fabric for your money, this is the book for you.
