Modal Fabric Where Can I Buy It? Fabric Source Question
greenandlilac   Member since 12/14/06 Posts: 79	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/12/08 1:17 AM Does anyone have a good source for good priced knit fabric, specifically Modal fabric? The only sources I can find for Modal are wholesale. I have some RTW in Modal and I love it. It's comfortable and doesn't pill as much as some knits.

I've not ever touched modal but I'm thinking it should be essentially the same as any good quality Rayon jersey out there---and there are lots of rayon jerseys out there right now....most have a tiny bit of lycra in them--3% to 10%. I also have found bamboo knit with 3% Lycra to be very like the softer, drapier rayon jerseys that are around now. I also know that one PR member bought Modal sheets at her local Linens and Things to cut up and use the fabric for sewing. ------ I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine... Most of the pleasure is in getting that last little piece perfect...Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just keep showing up and doing the work.

I have found rayon knit sheets at my neighborhood thrift store which are quite nice, but they say "rayon" not Modal. -- Edited on 8/12/08 1:53 AM -- ------ I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...

She wants me to make a nightgown with the sheets. She got a really good deal on them, too. ------ I don't mind going to work but it's that 8 hour wait to go home that's a B!TCH.

I don't know if they currently have any. But then I later saw the same knits for sale at FashionFabricsClub.com. ------ "framed" was taken

I don't know if there is any in stock right now, but they do carry it from time to time and the quality of fabric at Textile Studio is excellent. ------ Kim formerly mikkim http://girlwithatimemachine.wordpress.com/

You'd probably get a better response that way. I know people DO order that bundle....couldn't tell you about quality or content, though. ------ I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...
