CHEAP Fabric

Does anyone know where to find discounted fabric. I was looking at some
Kravets and Robert Allen fabrics and I cannot find anything under $100.
If anyone knows of a place to look, i would really appreciate the
advise.

This group tends to go in the other direction. We scour out fine fibers and
spin them into unbelievably precious yarns. We seek out unusual yarns and
knit them into tokens of pure love. We weave fabrics that are pure art, and
absolutely priceless.

When we have done all of the above, we tell stories that would make Mark
Twain and Jules Vern blush with embarrassment. But, we have no shame. When
we need quilting fabric, we go to the thrift stores. If that does not work
we google and use the yellow pages. And, sometimes we are so busy with our
projects that we will just wait months for a sale at Joannes.

What kind of fabric are you seeking? The folks over at alt.sewing and
rcts have all kinds of lists of discount fabrics (I have a few myself)
but different places specialise in different things. Give us a few
specifics and I am sure we can help out.

Remember the topic was CHEAP fabrics.



I think there is a bit of confusion here because "cheap" can mean
"inexpensive" but it also can mean "shoddy." I would NEVER use shoddy,
poor quality fabric in one of my art quilts but I use inexpensive
fabrics all the time!

Thanbk so much ya'll you repied. I was a way from my computer for a
couple days and when i got back to read your messages i couldn't help
but laugh. the playful bickering is quite fun to read. I definately
will try some of your suggestion. Also I found a great website for
those people who are looking for discount fabrics that are ussually
quite expensive. Its www.commercialinteriorsoutlet.com. Take a look
they have a lot of manufactures and they also carry wallpaper yet I
haven't had the need for that yet.

thanks!

Thank you for this site , although i have no use for it , by the time
theypack it post it [all on my costs] these cloth become so costly
that i feel the only thing i could do with them is put them in a
bank`s safe. Thus i have my way , to get GOOD quality cloth for
reasonable prices, i walk the cloth shops and but materails [ of
course only those i need and like !!] that are end of bolts, i go to
shops that sell Curtain materials ,,, etc..... The left overs of my
clothes , or other sewing projects become parts of my art work . and i
also share it with other fiber friends.
