I bid on, and won, a beautiful fabric offered on eBay. It's a lightweight lycra, gorgeous paisley print, wonderful colors. I just started working with it this week, and it's strange. I first noticed a mark, sort of a thin dent, tried to iron it out, unsuccessfully. As I'm working with it I notice more marks that I hadn't noticed before. Hmm, strange. I'm making a blouse and just finished putting a zipper in, more marks. Then I'm wondering if they are snags, but snags actually show a run of thread. As I run my fingers over the fabric, I see the marks appear. They are snags, from my skin. Well, I don't have baby-soft skin, but this is ridiculous. These marks aren't really runs, but they appear as a thin ridge on one side and a dent on the other side. There is still a lot of work to go on this blouse, but I'm thinking of just chucking the whole thing. If it's this fragile, I probably won't be happy with it. Has anyone ever experienced this sort of problem with a fabric? Cheryl
