I've never done a big MYOG but now am interested. I'm blanking on the companies that people have used for raw materials. I'm primarily looking for silnylon and grosgrain. Can you guys help? Thanks

I think there's some more but I'm drawing a blank.

I have been pretty darned happy with the service and the quality of the materials.
I also used noah lamport for silnylon, and they were easy to work with also.
