I need some really wide strechy fabric

Post by Stickygreen » Sun May 03, 2009 9:12 pm

anyone know a place that sells spandex type white fabric, but in really wide rolls, all I can find is 60" wide, when stretched out to max I can get it to 7' 6" I need more stretch!

Interesting question.. I think its been answered somewhere on here b4.

(not being snarky just don't know)
(my design still doesn't have a budget for that stage of the MV :( )

If all else fails and the budget makes the dream impossible you could always redesign. ;)

Seam it together, or have a sailmaker or an awning shoppe sew it for you.

Maybe a diet is a better option. That is some serious spandex need. I mean that's not just some junk in the trunk, that is a junk yard in the trunk.

Here's a link to a thread about spandex. At the bottom, someone posted a link to a place that sells odd sizes, including wider than normal spandex.
