I'd like to hear from a conservator as to whether simply washing fabric eliminates "chemicals" and makes the fabric safe for use with objects.

If you worry about chemicals, they can always be washed before use. -----Original Message----- From: Ava Wilkey Sent: Apr 16, 2007 9:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Information on a fabric vendor Hello Listers, I am researching vendors for artifact safe fabric for background of cases and mounting. I have found information on the Creation Baumann line, which comes in a variety of nice colors. I found it at Gaylord and Test Fabrics, but it's pretty pricey. Does anyone have suggestions of other manufacturers or vendors?
