Top 30 Places To Buy Knit Fabric In The US

Working with sergers and teaching workshops on the road, I'm often asked where are the best places to find knits. I'll always urging you to check with your local shops but the truth is, not many quilt shops sell beautiful knits. If they do: I often find their offerings limited. Here are 30 stores (a mix of Brick and Morter shops, online retailers, and some that are both!) that offer up organic knits, jersey knit, ponte knits, interlock knits, and double knit fabrics for sale.
