American Fabric Manufacturers

I was asked to give this information again.
To my knowledge there are two fabric manufacturers in the US.
Cranston Printworks in Webster, Ma (Their offices and warehouse are in Cranston RI
Santee, SC. I don't recall the name but believe it is associated with Classic Cottons in NY.
The comment made in the post was that she wanted to patronize those fabric companies printing in the US.
I don't know where Springs prints.

This is a bit hard to do because many of the large companies print both in the US with these companies as well as overseas. It depends primarily on the complixity of the pattern. Usually those patterns requiring less than 8 or 10 screens may be printed here in the US, with the more detailed patterns going overseas. For instance, the two or three color designs may be printed here because of the fewer screens required.

I do know that Cranston prints for both the chain stores as well as lines for Quilt Shops Only.
