I buy mine at my Hancocks Store and have for several years now... Hobby Lobby is new here , so I have not checked them.. We do not have a Joanne's. Of Course our world famous Mary Jos cloth Store in Gastonia (20 miles away) has everything in the world for sewing..I usually find anything I need there..

I got some at Walmart a year or so ago. The print was beautiful but the quality of the fabric was nothing to shout about. Dorothy |

I see them at Joanns and Hancock Fabrics all the time, I even seen a couple at Walmarts that have a fabric/craft dept. Do you have these in your area? So much Fabric, so little time.

Mary: You are right, finding nice quality double sided quilted fabric is really hard. When I had my shop, people asked for this all the time for lots of uses (placemats, baby buntings, purses and more). Here are a couple of suggestions: www.phoenixtextiles.com www.fabricclub.com www.missingfabrics.com The missing fabrics site is for either looking for something you already have, or trying to locate a source for something you are looking for. The other two sites are online fabric shops and their inventory changes all the time. You can write and ask them if they have this product or will be adding it soon - make sure to tell them that you sew professionally and have customers asking for it. In this way, they know that there is a growing demand for it. Take care Joyce |
