As a quilter, I enjoyed the information in this book. It is especially useful in helping make decisions on purchasing and using our fabrics. An added extra is my showing children the process by which cotton becomes fabric - the machinery is well photographed and helps children get a visual picture.

This book goes into detail about how fabric is made, and the differences this causes. I consider it a must have book for the library of anyone who is serious about making quality quilts and recognizing quality fabric.

This is a well researched and written book on an important issue for quilters who care about their work lasting for future generations. I hope the publisher will consider asking the author to update it and reissue the book for the current generation of new quilters who would benefit as well.

This book is the best I have read in evaluating textiles for home use. I learned a lot of important things that will help me in sewing projects for the home . I highly reccomend it for quilt makers who want to know more about fabrics and thier various origins and uses.

Wonderful book. A whole new way to look at the way fabric and thread making. Being a quilter this is a terrific book for anyone wanting to understand how fabric etc is made.

Its great to know what the fabric has gone through to get to me. Harriet Hargrave is one of the best writers/teachers that I have come across.

I was hoping to get some simple and clear ideas how to know the quality of fabric for quilting. After I read this book, I still don't know exactly how. I guess I just need to get more experiences working with various fabrics.

This book was requested by a relative as a Christmas gift. However, I questioned the price, even for a used copy, but decided that since it was Christmas, "what the heck", so placed the order. For the price, I expected a huge book with a lot of data, photos and illustration and couldn't hardly believe the little skinny book that was received. It may be full of information for the quilter, but I feel it is way overpriced.
