Sound tests have also revealed that these fabrics emit a very high-pitched sound, heard only by a select few, a breed of women known as "quilters". <snip>
I think we need to extend this theory, obviously different fabrics are emitting different frequencies and each sewer is sensitive to different frequencies, you see the quilting cottons have never spoken to me but brocades and silks frequently do. Some become quilters because they are sensitive to the frequency emitted by quilting cottons while others become costumers because silk cries out to them piteously. Then there are the poor souls who can hear the sound of all types of fabric and they do quilting, historic costuming, mundane sewing and can't possibly leave a fabric shop without something because one of their addictions will catch them. :-)
