Cheap Covering

Yes, probably, but what you find in "cloth stores" has already been heat shrunk!--Jerry I have found some have had luck with finding shrinkable drapery linings and sheer fabric. It comes in 108-110 inch widths but would need to be tested before buying any quantity. One guy took a small swatch home and cut it to 10" then ironed it. It shrunk in length to about 9" or 10% shrinkage. It weighed about 2oz. per yard. A good indication is if the specs call for dry clean only. Seems the offshore supplied stuff might be more likely to shrink. Ask for it "in the griege" (pronounced "gray". http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/griege
