    Check Herrschner's. They have them online herrschners.com. Maybe that will help you. I always got mine in January at Walgreen's. I would buy like 49 at a time, so I could embroider them and give them as a seven day set (I never put the day on) They also have good transfers also (you can find the same at Hancock's). Hope this helps! Edie

    I bought the ones from Walmart just to use to in my kitchen. When they come out of the dryer they are so wrinkled that I have to iron them before I will use them to dry dishes with.LOL
    And I HATE to iron. I gave one to one of my sons because flour sack towels absorb so very well and when he saw how it looked when it was washed and dryed he threw his in the trash. Not the reaction you'd want for something you put time in to embroider. Not all of the younger generation will use things that stay wrinkled and not all will iron.

    Sam's has BiG flour sack towels. I use them all the time. They are not expensive. You get a big stack of them. They are in the kitchen supply area, close to the mops and brooms.

    I recently went on a search for toweling/tea towels. They didn't know what I was talking about when I went to Joanne's. They said to check online. Well, I found some thru "Quilter Studio" They sell by the yard and individual or sets of tea towels. They gave me excellent service and prices are very good. Whe my order came, there was a personalized hand written letter on the botton of my invoice letting me know about some special pricing. I will order more from them. web site is www.quilterstudio.com. The are in Westminster, Ma.
