Rib Knit Fabric for collars for Bereavement Gowns
This isn't a quilting item, but all the gals on here seem to know where to get everything. I just recently agreed to make Bereavement Gowns for the hospital. The easiest and nicest looking neckline is to use Rib Knit for cuffs and collars. But I am having trouble finding it at the local fabric stores. I've found some online, but of course there's the shipping, unless I find lots of other things to buy.
Anyone know of a good source?

I have a fairly big piece that is cream colored. I thought about using it as a back for a baby blanket but was concerned about it stretching. If you pm me your email address I can send you a pic, and if you like it it's yours for the postage!

Thanks. I'll check at Jo ann's the next time I'm near there. It's about a half an hour from here. But I get there from time to time. I found some online but it was going to cost more to ship it than the actual item. I buy a lot of quilting items online, but not the same kind of store.

Do these open all the way down the front or back? If so, you don't really need the rib knit, as it doesn't need to have that much stretch. Regular t-shirt knit will work, or even bias binding, but I have problems getting bias binding to look nice.

Unfortunately no instructions came with the paper pattern. So am basically winging it.
