Can anyone tell me where to sell feedsacks? Several were donated to our charity quilt group and we think they would put to better use if sold and the money used for more appropriate fabric.

OK, dumb question but how do you tell the difference between a feedsack & regular cotton? Are the feedsacks thicker?

I got 'gifted' a whole box of scrap fabric, and I'm wondering how old they are. If I take a picture, would it help to identify?

Thanks!

Feed sack fabric is a corser woven with a heavier thread than modern day fabrics. They will also have "holes" or stitching marks on the side where the thread was stitched.
