petro   Intermediate FRANCE Member since 6/24/07 Posts: 2204	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 12/23/11 3:20 AM What a great idea to have products listed as being made locally. We all need to turn around some of the negative effects of globalisation - exporting exploitation, carbon emissions for transport from far flung places, job losses. We could use some lists like that here in Europe too. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

PortlandMaine   Advanced Beginner ME USA Member since 1/29/11 Posts: 1655	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/23/11 4:30 AM i think i remember buying all-clad pots+pans b/c they r made in usa... be aware if u find it in discount stores it will most likley have a mark on the under-side of the handle .. that mark means its a factory second. ive been to the fiestaware factory many times .. its near pittsburgh. llbean makes some stuff in the usa - the classic ll bean boots r made in maine. near sea naturals makes some great organic threads from cotton grown in the usa. i had lots of shredding in the sewing machine but, my friend seems to have no problem using them in her serger. there are some other thread makers in the usa - lots of polyesters, though. ------ Drag queen quilter!
