It’s still available new, and I think sometimes it’s called “Sports Knit” these days. It works well for table coverings when you need to cover a lot of tables for an event.

I bought fabric from Greenbaums in Salem, Oregon. It is now called Greenbaum's Quilted Forest. I don't know that it is the same owners, but they are in the same place they always were when I was young. Oh my that was 40 years ago.

Oh Lordy what a memory you triggered. I remember those things too. Mom shopped at Blass-Dillards now in the basement. I remember flatfolds & the measurings> Shopped at Wests also. All stacked on tables. Thanks for this thread!
