For those of you who don't have a Joann's close: I'm on Joann's online newsletter and get coupon offers (40% off, etc) all the time to order online. You can probably get the wide backing that way. I don't order online. However, I did use a store coupon ond buy wide backing fabric in black and white for some curtains for my daughter's new kitchen. The fabric seems pretty decent quality. With a coupon, the price is great!
