Does anyone know of a manufacturing company that sells nice fabric in USA? -

It seems that everyone I ve talked re: the purchase of fabric are over seas. I would like to support our economy and buy within the USA.

The American fabric industry, though diminished, is still alive and producing multitudes of really fantastic fabrics. There are the major mills like Milliken and ITG (a combination of Burlington Industries, Cone Mills and other companies) and Mount Verrnon Regal. There are also very fine converters like Symphony-Pago Fabrics and Scher Fabrics in New York and jobbing (wholesaling companies) such as Magna Fabrics in New Jersey. There still are garment centers in both New York and LA with clusters of fabric jobbers and importers.Susan Powers publishes a great directory of resources The Resource Room And Guides NETwork at http://www.rrag.net
