Wholesale source of Coutil in the US

[mzsandy]

I'm searching for a wholesale source for coutil in the US that doesn't require an unreasonable quantity per order.  I currently am only creating corsets for family and friends but making enough of them to need a cheaper than $22.00 plus shipping per yard price on coutil.

Speak to Richard the Thread in CA. They might do a wholesale deal with you.

Sorry, I just realized you wanted wholesale with low quantities. That is tough since wholesale pricing is based on larger quantity orders.

Good luck

Greenberg & Hammer?

There have been several suggestions of using Down-proof Ticking as an acceptable substitute. It sells for less than half of the price of coutil ($8-$10/yd vs. $22) and many people have used it successfully in this community. I believe that Vogue Fabrics carries it, as well as several other online sellers.

The key with ticking being that it is tightly woven to prevent feathers from working through it, it is sufficiently woven to prevent boning as well. If you do a community search you should find more info about it.

Go to tutu.com! Randomly they have white and black coutil for $9 something a yard. Everyone I know of has said their coutil is good quality. :) Maybe you should give them a call!
