Quilt backing
 
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to buy backing for a King size quilt? I've looked around my area and I haven't found any that I was thrlled with.

I am hoping to not have to piece the back.

Joann's usually carries a small selection of fabrics wide enough to do a king size backing, assuming you might have one nearby.

Thank you. I went there yesterday and no luck.

I have bought 108" wide backing from Sew it is and from Craft Town Fabrics and was very impressed with their service. Both have websites and very reasonable prices.

Thank you. I'll check them out.

My two favorite places are
Thousands of bolts - one of the best selections
Fabric .com - also a big selection , but do avoid temptation to buy the cheaper ones... they are very thin.

Look online at Fabric Depot. I got some 118" - unfortunately a polyester blend, but they have many other wide fabrics.

Absolutely, could not agree more! I just recently got the South Seas Imports stuff from Thousands of Bolts. VERY NICE. Bought a 1 yard remnant of the Quilt Traditions flannel wide back they carry, would NOT recommend it.

Keepsake quilting has wide backs, online.

I just bought 108" backing from joanns today, is there another in your area you can call?

fabric.com is where i get about 95% of my wide backs- good selection, good prices & free shipping at the $35 level.

Craft Town Fabrics has a wonderful selection of backings and GREAT service!!

Christianlanequilters carry Fat Backs but they say they are for Queen size. 3 yds with four extra inches I think.

Carol W 05-09-2012 11:02 AM

Thank you all very much. I'll check out all your suggestions!!! :)

Connecting Threads has wide backing fabric now.

Rubesgirl 05-09-2012 04:25 PM

Fabric Hut has a lot of wide backing fabrics. Fabrichut.com. I love shopping there and they will ship. :-)

Sew Batik has great fabric. Just read the instructions. They recommend washing with Synthrapol before use because to remove wax and excess dye.

Keepsake Quilters and Hancocks of Paducah all have wide backing that you can order. Very good service from both. Check them out on their websites.

http://www.marshalldrygoods.com/index.php Marshall Dry Goods. I've gotten beautiful fabric from them including wide backing and the prices and customer service are excellent.
