wide width fabric

A long time ago, kmgf posted a request for help on finding wide width fabric. She was starting a bedding line to make duvets and shams. I am doing the same thing. I am finding it particulary hard to find high thread count nice cotton in wide widths. Did anyone ever find out where she was able to find this fabric? I am desperate for help as the research on Google could go on for years with all the millions of websites to read. I also am in the same budgetary quandary she was, in that I would like to spend about $3-4 a yard if possible. I will be making children's bedding, so I need to save wherever I can. Any help from the cyber world would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely, Lisa Vold

Land's End also have nice sheets sold separately. I am in no way connected to them, except a happy customer. Emily

I don't know why some made links as I had wanted and some didn't

You might want to check with Springmaid/Wamsutta if you're needing such fabric in large quantities--- by the bolt I mean. I just bought 10 yards of white Springmaid 200 count pima cotton for making pillow cases and it's beautiful with a very nice hand.

Almost all the online quilt shops now carry 100-120" wide fabric for backings but, (1) rarely for $3-4/yd; (2) definitely not 200 thread count since it is quilt fabric though it is usually very high quality fabric (200 count does not needle very well); (3) a few people have noticed a reduction in the quality of wide fabrics from a couple manufacturers so I would definitely suggest swatching it first to see if it meets your specifications. Search under "quilt backing" and you'll find tons of references.

I've made comforter covers from sheets and quilting fabrics (including the wide backings)--- all 100% cotton. In all honesty, I prefer the quilt fabrics that are lighter because many high thread count sheets make the comforters just too darn heavy and you feel like you're sleeping under a rock. Now it is possible to get lighter weight, high thread count sheets but they are almost always vastly more expensive.

HI - did you find what you needed? I've been looking for a duvet cover for a twin blanket and they either don't exist or are very expensive. Have you decided what you would charge for this?

I considered sewing 2 twins together. Maybe I should give that a try.

As Cea suggested sheets are great. I did an entire room with sheets. Twins for Duvet,curtains and table cover. I wasn't looking for high quality,just a look and they came out great. The thing is you can spend a lot or a little on sheets and have the look you want. I bought my sheets in K Mart. Juno
