3 inch knit ribbing
Can someone recommend a site where I can order 3 inch knit ribbing to sew
around the neck and arm openings on polarfleece? I looked at Joanns and Hancock Fabric but they don't carry it anymore. Thanks! BPeters |

Try this place. I don't know if they'd have it, but I used to wander into
into this shop on occassion when I lived near there many years ago.

Do you mean the pre-made cuffs and collars?
It is far cheaper, and the selection of colours and qualities is much greater, if you buy your ribbing off the bolt. I usually buy it by the half metre, but store's generally have a 10 cm minimum cut which is what you're looking for anyway! I am assuming that the same holds true for the States (perhaps a 4 inch minimum cut is the standard there?) - anyway, ask at Joanns or Hancock for their ribbing yardage next time....I'm surprised that you weren't shown it! (Joanns and Hancock must be large fabric store chains because I see them mentioned a lot - I guess they are like Fanny's and Fabricland in Canada.)

The JoAnn's near my home does not carry wooly nylon at all, but another
store, just a bit farther away, carries a full line. When I asked why, the manager of one store said that JoAnn'spolicy is certain stores carry certain supplies. Of course, this is never advertised, it is a matter of shopping around the different stores in your area. I have not heard of Hancock's having this same policy, but you might want to check more than one store. Emily |

www,sewbaby.com sells knit ribbing in a bunch of colors. I suggest you buy
more than the exact amount you need. They sell it by the inch. I think it's a tube that is about36 inches wide if you cut the tube open on one side. You can also try www.questoutfitters.com Lots of good things excellent service. They have an 800 number for ordering. Nice people to deal with and S&H is veery low.
