Myrna Ficken Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Barb, this sounds like a whole lot of fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well, I have dates (July 5-8) and a venue (Palouse Divide Lodge) but now I'm working on my budget, so I can figure out what I need to charge. I'm gonna need at least six bolts (!!!!!) of 108" wide fabric - looking for a very inexpensive supplier. The best price I've found so far is $4.50/yd at E.E. Schenck, but I'd like to do better if I can. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi Barb--I will be in Anaheim next month and plan to visit M&L Fabrics. If I can find anything less expensive I will call you from there. I have a cell # for you that ends in 1467. Is that still a good number for you? I'm thrilled that you are going forward with this!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 How about extra-wide muslin from Joann's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Linda, I priced the 108" wide muslin at Joanne's - $120 for a 15 yd bolt. Even with a 40% off coupon (only good for one bolt) that comes down to $4.80/yd, plus there would be shipping 'cause it's only available online......

meg Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 hi barb - deloa uses flat sheets she buys at walmart. and just layers them over each other when they fill up so you only need 1 backer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Originally posted by LHooten Barb, I am very interested in your retreat. Do you know when you are going to know how many you can host? I couldn't find an email address for you! Or for Bonnie (fineseams). I have details now, but I don't want to post them here just yet. I will be sending out an email shortly to those who have first shown interest, and I want them to get first "dibs" on the 35 slots available! If you want the info, email me at info@tmequilting.com with "Longarm Retreat" in the subject line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
