Where and what to buy
Or I've got an uncle that can get it for you wholesale...I'm not going to talk about this, I'm going to show you why you should never pay retail again.

1 Serging thread differs from all purpose thread in that it is lighter in
weight and therefore ideal for edge finishing but unsuitable for use in seams.
2 For the record: eyelets are one piece; grommets are comprised
of a two piece set of a large eyelet and a washer. Don't let the fact that the
Dritz® packaging differentiates the two by size confuse you.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to get price breaks on fabric. I get my muslin for about .685/yd, but then again I buy it 100 yards at a time. 'Nuf sed.
Where to go...
First, let me say that I don't work for either of these companies. Neither do I make any guarantees or promises regarding the service or products you'll get. No tax numbers are necessary.|
