i've gotten that backing. it's not the best, but it's pretty okay. it normally costs $9.99/yd. when i have a 50% coupon, i buy a bolt. it comes in different colors and prints. it shrinks a lot, so be advised.

also Sauder's in amish country in pa, has a once-a- year bolt sale, where the fabric averages $2-3/yd if you buy the entire bolt. that makes it worth
piecing. it's all brand-name goods. i don't know if they have a website.
