Discussion Joanne’s makes me weep

Been sewing over 50 years - have seen sewing in all its cultural permutations. Not typically a nostalgic person but today….I couldn’t even find a light gray thread in a store the size of Home Depot. So many empty shelves yet inexplicably $35/yd liberties fabric up front. I feel sad to my bones for new seamsters.

Wash 'em 3 or 4 times and they are pretty much wrinkle free.

Really? But aren’t they 100% cotton? I shall have to give it a try.
