This is a great idea. You can wash & dry it (if washable), then rub it on the inside of your forearm to see it is is scratchy. It also helps in coordinating colors with the wardrobe at home.

This is a great tip Petro. If the shop is not too far out of the way, I do this on occasion. Sometimes I buy several 1/8 pieces of fabric and "play" with them until I decide which I like best. I have so much fabric now that I only allow myself to purchase fabric I deeply love. I rarely buy much these days...

Good idea. I for one will take this advise since I am starting a Beginning Sewing Lab 101. Thanks

I agree, I also, just finish a skirt with fabric that looked and felt great. It frayed worse then any I have ever had and did not look or feel as I had hoped.

For me, I think it would be good to buy an extra half yard of any fashion fabric I buy so I can do some test stitching, washing, ironing, or embellishment making before actually working on a project. Thanks for the tip, Petro. It got me thinking.
