Buying materials ???

Mike,
From what I know, most people use these sites:

http://www.seattlefabrics.com/
http://www.owfinc.com/
http://www.speerhammocks.com/Products/Supplies.htm

Those are the main ones I know of. Sounds like we're looking for some of the same info.

Thanks Kyle,
I am watching your thread,some great links.
I am adding them to my bookmarks as they are posted.

http://www.therainshed.com/

Been there for ever.

That is a great site. Top quality pics and info.

I generally use
http://www.owfinc.com/

but two other sources that should not be left out of this list are:
http://thru-hiker.com/
http://questoutfitters.com/

Good luck!

Don't forget Thru-Hiker http://thru-hiker.com/materials/
I have made several quilts using their materials.

One giant plus when you shop with Thru-Hiker is that you can rest assured that the item is very very high quality.

FYI: Acye and I work together on sourcing and developing many materials, (Momentum, Spinntex EXP, Dyneema X, etc.) to get the best of the best in a given category and Thru-Hiker.com gives great customers service and advice on how to make items.

Check out the helpful how-to forums at Thru-Hiker you don't get that at any other fabric sites. -You get a lot of value added support with your purchase.

Wow,I am amazed with all the experience you folks bring. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help a rookie like me. I have gained a ton of info in a very short amount of time.
