Z-Tex "Timeless Twill"

I just received some new samples from Z-Tex - I requested everything they have that's "8 oz. and heavier." Timeless Twill wasn't among them. Has it been discontinued? Or was it lighter than 8 oz.? Can't remember, but I'm thinking of asking for some lighter samples.

Has anyone ever used 7 oz. fabric?

By all means... get the samples.

It will be great for all of us to know what is available from them.

Could you do a short article for the next slipcover press?

I did promise a couple of articles...

I'm still researching button pins; do you recall the other one I suggested?

And survey questions. Yeah, I love the holidays... :p

I have not used Z Tex 7 ounce, but I have been happy with 7 ounce in general when that twill is made for the clothing market. I think clothing twill is tighter woven, plus I can choose it in person at the store and get it near what wholesale would be some other places.

So yes 7 ounce can be acceptable, but I'd preper to see if with my own eyes first.

These folks don't do fabric for the clothing market...

So yes, Dede order some for us to play and see.
