Question 1

On amazon "sourcedly sells high quality products that are proudly made in usa" yet on your web site "our burlap is sourced directlly from india."  ?

Accepted Answer

We make the products in Ohio. Burlap, or more widely known around the world as hessian, is made from the jute plant in India. It's India's #1 crop. We receive it in raw form in bales and convert it into finished products that we package and ship from Ohio to Amazon and you!

Lots of sellers on Amazon buy their finished goods from India and China. China also produces burlap. Russia, too. Many sellers don't make anything. They buy it ready done. It's hard to control the quality that way. You never know what you'll get. Kinda drives us nuts, so we produce everything we sell.

We don't take shortcuts. We buy the best stuff we can get our hands on. We cut it, grade it, fold and roll it. We package it, label it and ship it. Most importantly, we stand by it.

Read the reviews and decide if Burlapper is right for you!

Thanks for asking. Let us know what other questions and comments you have.

Question 2

I'd like burlap without the heavy chemical smell that some customers report. Is there an untreated burlap?

Accepted Answer

All of our burlap is untreated; however, oils are used during the looming process of all burlap, so that's where the smell can come from. Sometimes there is a smell and sometimes there isn't; it just depends on the type of oil used during the looming process. Our garden fabric includes burlap of 3 different weights. We sell true garden fabric, which is a lighter weight burlap, and we also include our medium and heavy-weight burlap that has seams and/or ink markings on the fabric in the garden category, so there's no way for us to pick one over the other if you order this specific item since Amazon fulfills the orders on our behalf. While we do our best to minimize selling burlap that has an odor, there's no way to say whether or not any of the burlap has an odor because it varies from lot-to-lot and piece-to-piece. It's the nature of burlap. What smells to one person may not smell to someone else. Our premium burlap is less likely to have an odor, and you can locate it by searching "Burlapper 12 oz", ASIN "B01J26LI44" or selecting the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Burlapper-Burlap-Fabric-Decorator-Quality/dp/B01J26LI44/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486188281&sr=8-2&keywords=burlapper. You may want to order 2-3 units, give it the smell test, and then send back what you don't need. An alternative is to select the option under the buy box that allows you to purchase directly from us -- bypassing Amazon's warehouse. We will hand select pieces of burlap that have minimal to no odor. We offer free and quick shipping, too, so it's simply a matter of selecting the option without the "Prime" logo.I hope this helps.

Question 3

Is this burlap good as weed barrier? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

De, Weed barrier is one of the prescribed uses of Burlapper garden fabric, and it's a very popular choice among gardeners. Depending on the ground and weed conditions, you may want to play around with how you layer it over the ground in order to get the best results. In addition to 40" W x 5 Yard lengths, we now offer Burlapper Garden Fabric in 40" wide x 10 yard lengths. Simply choose the size option within the listing that best serves your needs. We can also do custom lengths -- longer than 30 feet as a single piece -- if you choose the option to have it shipped directly from Sourcedly in lieu of the Prime shipping. In that case, simply select the quantity that you want and we'll ship it to you rolled onto a solid paper core at your desired length.Please let us know what other questions and comments you have.Sourcedly Ltd.

Question 4

What is the best way to sew seams in this with a sewing machine (not a serger)?

Accepted Answer

Pull threads to get straight seams, both directions. Sew with heavy duty needle, and thicker tread ( upolstery). 
I used hot glue, to stop fraying. I made Christmas deco, table runners, drawer liners, rustic decor.
Good Luck.
