A word on Pima Cottons. Any seasoned seamstress will tell you that there is no joy like working on pima cotton. Your embroidery or quilting needle zips in and out as smoothly as a fine wine washes down your throat. The soft feeling on your fingers is a sensuous feeling of luxury only found in quality fabrics such as pima cotton and/or silk. The reason for this is that Pima cotton is a long staple fiber that has a longer life span than regular domestic cottons (acala). The silkier hand (by hand we mean feel to the touch) qualifies it as an heirloom fabric. All the time and effort you put into your projects deserves the use of the finest fabrics around that will last decades if you take care of it. I have seen some beautiful Edwardian dresses (1900-1910) made from the loveliest Indian Lawn that are as strong and vibrant as back then. Time to make your own family heirlooms to carry forward into time.
