that you look for stores in Amish country that also have a web presence. I know that sounds a bit contradictory but there are some who do and also some people acting as "intermediaries" so to speak. As you know trying to buy bulk online through many of the "normal" places can be very iffy with quality issues or fabric being misrepresented. Some of what gets presented as a certain material may actually be so thin it becomes a joke.

First stuff I remember shopping for was in the basement of the "Monkey Wards" store and the Ben Franklin Five and Dime. Here is a link to a store in PA that I have purchased things from with very good results and they are so very nice on the phone. Solid fair pricing also. Everything I've gotten was well packed and shipped well. Good luck.
