Thanks, but I need a wash and wear fabric, not cotton. I could swear I've seen the wider poly tablecloth fabric somewhere. I think Fabric.com had some a while back but they don't have it now

One of the fabric lines I carry in my home dec business is from a company called Ado. Their "claim to fame" is that ALL of their fabric is 118" wide and ALL of it is machine-washable. They have a tremendous selection of fabrics that run the range from damasks to linen-looks to crushed velvet looks. You can contact me at snipped-for-privacy@sewingseamseasy.com if you'd like more information.

Hope this isn't too much like an ad... just wanted to help out.

Because the fabric was requested and because you also gave your source of the fabric, I cannot see how your helpful post could be construed as advertising. Chill! There have been some pretty snappy posts lately that have people on edge - mainly because the newsgroup has been inundated with sneaky sales pitches. Cynthia

Don't worry, Welmoed. If anybody says anything to you, I will go punch them in the nose.

Melinda, who has hung out on this NG off and on for at least 10 years and has gotten *tons* of help and lots of inspiration from it and benefited greatly

I was looking for it for a friend, and we ended up getting some online at Hancocks. She needed red. It was 72" wide but we will have to seam which was OK with her. Thanks for all the info. Judy
