Online I get mine from Amazon or Overstock. Every year I look for fitted flannel sheets. Why do they wear out the fastest? Anyway, you might check there.
|
I know that some of the finer department stores sell them seperately. I think they get you on the invididual selection. Belk Lindsey, JCPenny, Macys. They woiuld have what you need.

another walmart person....I use them to line window treatments when i make them - - twin size sheet - $5... I also have used them to make curtains - esp for the basement when i am not so picky
Never have used them for the back of a quilt - the thread count is higher than i like for that purpose. |
think about the sets this way. you have another quilt backing ready to be used for a smaller quilt. or maybe even the same size.
|
I wasn't aware they had? I was just at our local WMart and they were selling them there..Good luck finding one!
|
go to walmarts- dr blue, light green, tan, ans brown, oh white, a queen-- $12.oo

I buy all my twin flats @ Walmart & make scrubs for work! I have lots of colors, & if I want a matching jacket it's just another $4. Can't beat it!

Try Marshall's, TJ Max and Ross. They all carry them.
|
I got some last spring from Target that were wild colors. I am using them to make pillowcase dresses. The last ones I got at Walmart I forgot to look at the thread count. They were very thin and when I washed them they pilled so I ended up using them for lining purses.

Walmart has them

You can still find singles, but have to look a bit. Kohl's, Penney's, maybe Sears, sometimes the discount stores like TJ Maxx or Marshall's. I share your frustration with this issue.

Went to Target today...yes, they are selling single sheets, flat or fitted. Didn't really have the colors I wanted, but I ended up getting fleece throw blankets...king size, $21.00. I am now able to do what I had planned.
I also looked at the king sheet set, the fitted was 90 x 80 I think and the flat was 108 x 108 I think. So to me the king set priced at $20.00, I think, would have been a waste, because I would have only been able to use the flat sheet, not the fitted because it would have been to small for what i needed. We used to have a Springmaid at the outlet mall....not any more.... Thanks to all for responding.... |
i saw them at my walmart not to long ago and they were on sale , maybe they were trying to faze them out

And you are right about the sheets being sold in sets - I still have a wonderful water bed & am down to 3 flat queen sized sheets, can't find them anywhere.

TJ Maxx! that is my source :)
|
I still find them at WalMart in many colors,
|
Didn't even think of them....good one!

Walmart has a nice variety of flat sheets. They look just like the sets..... in little cloth drawstring bags. Paid $11 for a queen.
|
Try overstock.com. they have odd pieces, sometimes solids colors in 250 to 300 thread counts. Mostly what I do, I buy the sets, don't seem to wear out the top sheets, so use them when I can for backing. I like to use the ones I have used and washed a lot as they are softer and easier to quilt. But I have used new ones occasionally but find the denser thread counts are hard to quilt.
|
Walmart still sells single sheets.
|
I have found single sheets at Wal Mart,and Fred Meyer, Hope this helps.
|
Anyone else notice that WALMART sucks???
|
abut a month ago I was in Bed Bath & Beyond and they sell them separatly and in sets.

Wallie had single sheets, but not much color choice.
|
You can find single sheets at Kohl's Dept. stores if you have one in your area. They are pretty reasonable on prices and most of the time they are on sale anyway. And they are good quality, so if you are using them as quilt backs they work great!.
|
I bought some at walmart, they were on clearance. I also buy sheets at the goodwill for a couple bucks, you can even square up the fitted sheets and use for a smaller size quilt! That is if you are making something thik a scrap quilt that it wouldn't matter if you used a second hand sheet.
|
K-mart has singles
|
Both my Spotlight, & K.Mart stores sell single
item sheets,and either flat or fitted. |
Sears often has single sheets in a variety of thread counts during their "white sale" days by catalogue, although I can't always find them in-store.
|
If ou are going to hand quilt them then get a low thread count as the higher the count the harder it is to quilt. I know from experience.
|
Some Walmart's do have them. Fred's does. My primary source is estate or garage sales. However, I have several navy flat sheets I will sell. PM me/
|
The mail order catalogs usually sell separate sheets, but you can't feel the sheets before you buy them!
|
I live in Roanoke, ALabama,a rurally isolated area, the walmart here sells single sheets all sizes.
The brand is Mainstays but they are 200 thread count. |
I was buying the flat sheets for backing at Wal-Mart and fabric also, but now the one where I live does not carry fabric anymore and now they have stopped having the single sheets. Guess when they have something that sells pretty good, they decide to discontinue.
|
I still get mine at Walmart, $4.00 for twin; $7.00 for queen; $8.00 to $11.00 for King. Color choice isn't the greatest, usually Burgundy, Navy, White and Sky Blue are all that's available.
