The lady who long arms my quilts doesn't like pieced backs. Any suggestions on best prices for quilt back fabric?

I like Thousands of Bolts.

thanks1 I will check out thousands of Bolts.

Try Hancocks of Paducah as well.

Marshall's Dry Goods.

Fabric.com. That is where I get the backings for customer quilts. That way I don't have to deal with piecing the backs and there are not any extra seams to deal with when hand quilting. Lots of colors, lots of prints, and widths to 108" to 120". About the only place that I have found the 120" in stock on an everyday basis.

she charges me $40.00 any size so I want to keep her happy.

JoAnn's sells 108" fabric, and when you use a 40% coupon, it is very affordable. Of course, the color selection is limited.

Pieced backs don't bother me. The work just as well as anything.

I agree, Rosy. And with keeping the seams going agross the width. That way it gives uniformly when it's on the frame. Lengthwise seams tend to cause uneven rolling. Just in my experience!

I buy flat sheets.

If buying backing from the inexpensive places... please be forewarned that the fabric can be wrapped VERY crookedly on the bolts. Best to buy 1/3 yard extra just so that you get what you initially needed!

I ordered a couple of those inexpensive ones for the store and was horrified to find out how crooked they were. They were cheap, and I got what I paid for. I'll never order them again.

(I told the staff to give our customers an extra 1/3 yard on each cut, to be fair. It's not safe to assume that all other stores would do the same!)

Just be careful...

The sale at Cotton Loft included some 108 backing fabric for $4.75 a yard. Shipping is a little slow due to volume of orders though!.

I would too!

I like fabric.com. Their prices are decent to begin with (especially if you spend the $35 minimum to get free shipping), but they always have coupon codes you can use to get a percentage off your order. :)

have you tried the backing? is it good quality?
