Do you know of any small companies or individuals import or interested to import fabrics from low cost overseas countries?

Why?

Most of the fabric that was made in this country was made in this area, particularly Gaston County. Now most of those jobs have been sent off shore. I think that people here would be more interested in seeing fabrics made in the US.

I love to think you are right. But large crowds in WalMart buying everything made in China tells different story. Even the US flag I got from the park district for 4th of July celebration is made in China.

Have you called or visited Mary Jo's? They can probably tell where the fabric they sell is made.
