This may sound like a really dumb quesion. Where do you get your white fabric? I noticed that my stash lacks white. I would like to get some very nice plain and tonal white. I would be ordering it online. I don't want a thin fabric but not too thick either. No transportation so online it is. Any help would be appricated. Thanks in advance. BrendaK

I've been thinking about trying a cathedral window and want to use white also. It has to be something that when ironed will stay in that shape. Any suggestions for that would be great. Thanks

Have you checked out Joann's? I get my white fabric from there. Rather good selection the last time I was there.

Did you see the cathedral window someone posted recently made with black fabric? It was fabulous

Kona cotton does some nice white, I get mine from Hancocks of Paducah. There is a bright white, and a snow (a little bit creamier), and a prepared for dying white.

Kona has a white. I use Kona snow, it is not pure white, but is not so stark white.

I buy 100 percent Cotton bleached perm press muslin. I use quite a bit so I buy it by the bolt.
