Where would I be able to find Wide fabric? I'm making a friend of mine a quilt and I'm paying for the backing and batting (cotton. I hope I can also find some to offer their long arm (locally) who doesn't cost me a fortune or doesn't mind donating their services (My mom apparently knows a guy who has a long arm).

The quilt it mix media, canvas, flannel, fleece and cotton. I'm doing it simply with 8.5 x 8.5 squares maybe smaller... She wants a queen. She gave me the fabric for it and I said sure...

Thank You!

JoAnn's carries 108" fabrics. And I think you can buy them online too. There is a couple of people here that has shops that may have it too. :) good luck

You could always just buy a nice sheet.

Some longarmers carry wide backing.

I think that 108" backing is a more common size than 90. You might want to look for that. Many online fabric stores carry it.

fabric.com
widefabrics.com
backsidefabrics.com

to name a few-
all offer wide backing fabrics- some with wonderful sales- great prices- and free shipping without a huge investment.

joannes, hobby lobby, connecting threads, also carry wide fabs...there are many!

Fabric.com has lots of wide backing at great prices. Also if you have a JoAnns coupon they do carry the really wide muslin - bleached and unbleached.

My favorite eBay seller:
http://stores.ebay.com/QUILT-UNIQUE-...=p4634.c0.m322

A hundred different 108" wide fabrics from antique looking toiles to white-on-white to batiks and tie-dyes. :)

Super service and doesn't gouge you on shipping costs. :)
