I heard Cliff had a new project in the works. I'm assuming he will tell us all about it.

From Bainbridge:
"There is potential for sailcloth to contain trace amounts of formaldehyde, a substance known in the state of California to cause cancer. It is not possible to generally predict levels, if any, of formaldehyde exposure which may result from processing of these products. It is recommended that sailcloth products be stored and processed in a well ventilated area to minimize exposure."

I wonder how high the levels really are.. how many of us actually store our fabric in a well ventilated area? !

I wish I was surrounded by fabric. . .  I wanna build something BIG. Although all the edge binding of my ds is getting quite boring.
