dear fabric makers:

please please please please please, if your fabric is stretchy in any way, put the approximate percentage of stretch in the description somewhere

some of us have patterns that specify 'heavy fabric, slight stretch, 20% vertical/35% horizontal' or whatever and we haven't got room or time to buy ten freaking swatches of every promising-looking fabric on Moodfabric/Girl Charlee/OnlineFabricStore/Sew Dynamic/whatever so that we can spend the evening stretching four-inch squares next to rulers to see whether they'll work for our freaking projects

thank you
