We buy them at the tractor supply stores if you have one near you. TSC, Runnings, Bomgaars etc. I can also get them at the old Ben Franklin store now called B&F Variety.

My favorite are Kay Dee Designs. They are white, thick and embroider beautifully. I checked online and they are at Mainstreet-store.com. Comparable, and excellent flour sack towels are sold at Hobby Lobby and Hancock Fabrics. They are Aunt Martha Premium (130 thread count). They are 'wrinkly', and not everyone likes that, but they do iron out very nicely. I just made 14 towels for gifts, and every stitch came out as I expected. These are tough towels, hemmed, and have a hanging tab in one corner. With 40% off coupon for both places, I have been getting them for about $2 each towel. Very reasonable for excellent quality towels.
I will add I purchased 10 pkgs (The white ones. I needed to get them done quickly so I purchased all at once hoping they were the good ones.) from Blain's Fleet Farm and returned every one of them. Too thin. The count should be at minimum 130 (which makes a premium towel). They are cheaper there, but I will pay a tad more for quality. If you are hand-embroidering, they may be ok. For machine embroidery-I personally won't embroider on anything less than premium towels.

Sometimes I get some from ebay but the quality varies at times and the last ones were terrible. Most have been great

One of my friends doubles the towels before she embrodieries on them. Makes nice towels that way.

I buy mine at Fleet Farm. They are quite heavy, but it doesn`t take much use and they are good to go. I embroider them after washing them, and they last a long time. The price was real good too.

I apologize here. It was not Walgreen's, it was Snyder's Drug Store. This past year, Snyder's closed down, the building torn down and now it is a newly built Walgreen's. How soon we forget. Edie

JoAnn's has them and you can use your 40% or 50% coupon

Walgreen Drug store will have them on sale at different times. They are usually nice and thick to sew on. I have gotten a lot for 88 cent to $1.25 each and they are full sack size. Quilt for fun Grandma G

Thanks for the post and all of the replies. I had purchased them at walmart, but when I went to get some this week they looked like cheesecloth. I wanted to machine embroider some for Christmas gifts. I will be going out of town next week and will check out their Hobby Lobby.
