This may sound like a really dumb quesion. Where do you get your white fabric? I noticed that my stash lacks white. I would like to get some very nice plain and tonal white. I would be ordering it online. I don't want a thin fabric but not too thick either. No transportation so online it is. Any help would be appricated. Thanks in advance. BrendaK

I've been thinking about trying a cathedral window and want to use white also. It has to be something that when ironed will stay in that shape. Any suggestions for that would be great. Thanks

I get mine at my local quilt shop.

Have you checked out Joann's? I get my white fabric from there. Rather good selection the last time I was there.

Have you thought of fusible interfacing.

Did you see the cathedral window someone posted recently made with black fabric? It was fabulous

Kona cotton does some nice white, I get mine from Hancocks of Paducah. There is a bright white, and a snow (a little bit creamier), and a prepared for dying white.

Kona has a white. I use Kona snow, it is not pure white, but is not so stark white.

I buy 100 percent Cotton bleached perm press muslin. I use quite a bit so I buy it by the bolt.
