We have excellent relationships spanning decades with our suppliers and thus have preferred bulk pricing which we pass along to you. We can source out your fabric needs with both domestic and import options. If we don’t have it we can get it!

After being in business since 1983, we have many “odds and ends” and some “dead stock” and items made of these fabrics are extremely cost efficient. If these materials may fit your needs, just ask what we might have available at the time of order.
