Let's be fair folks. Besides Steve's very detailed warning about the selvage, the Fraser and Kirkbright website even lists the stuff as "X Marks Selvedge Damaged".

I understand that some people have managed to get a few yards that are workable, but no one can say they didn't know what they were getting. It's been made pretty clear that the material is damaged. People that seem to be getting the workable yards also seem to be the folks that have called and spoken to Gordon, or someone else at F&K as opposed to email. If someone wanted primo top of the line tartan, they ordered it in the bulk order.

Gordon at F&K and Steve have worked very hard to make sure that the orders that are generated by members here are top notch. That is why this batch is available for all right now.

I feel for you Moosedog and I understand the disappointment, but 2-3 months is a long time. Sales and closeout items are always a buyer beware situation. A better deal (or a worse deal) may always come up at any time. Thanks for the warning though, as people should be aware they may not get as nice of a piece as others have lucked out with.T hat's the luck of the draw.

Hopefully you can still make the material work.
