108” Choice Fabrics quality?
 

I am eyeing 108” quilt backing on hancocks of Paducah website. The brand is Choice Fabrics which I am not familiar with. Anyone have an opinion on this brand? TIA

It's a great price, but I'll be watching for responses to your post, too.

If it is at Hancock's of Paducah I would think it would be quality fabric. When I went and bought 500.00 of fabrics there they were all very good quality.

thanks Jingle! Must have been a fun purchase!!

Personally I think anything you get from Hancock's of Paducah is incredible quality, at least that's been my experience. Also another place I get my wide backing from is Marshalls Dry Goods I've paid as little as $3.49 a yard for excellent quality fabric by Mary Fons selection is not very large with those but you can't beat the price.

Thank you Ariannaquilts! I’m going to go ahead and order

I bought some 108 backing fabric at Hobby Lobby that was pretty good. Some of theirs was a little stiff, mostly the plain colors, but I got a nice paisley that felt much better.

I don't know about Hancocks of Paducah, but I bought some 108" backing fabric at a quilt show last weekend that I really liked for $29.25. If you can find them at a show, they discount it $6.00 for two backings. You can buy it online through this website:

They have 206 fabrics to choose from. I bought two very saturated-color backings and washed them right away to see if they were bleeders. They didn't bleed, and I like the feel of the fabric even after I washed them.

The amount of fabric in three yards of 108"-wide fabric equals 7.75 yards of 42" fabric. I don't always use backing fabric for the back. It cuts up nicely just like 42"-wide fabric. With the show discount the fabric cost me less than $3.50 per yard of 42"-wide fabric.

Thank you Maureen and JENNR8R I will check those out!

You can look at Marshall Dry Goods too. They have first quality fabric.
