Wide backs, why bother? Sure they cost a little more per yard but save money as you need to buy less yardage and no seams to contend with on your backs. If you haven't tried one yet now is the time. Backs are 108" Wide unless stated otherwise. Compare what you will pay for regular goods for a back and then check wide backs. Wide backs win every time.
Example: A 92" x 112" King with 4" all around for the machine quilter would need 8 yards of regular width fabric or 3 1/2 yards of wide goods. 8 yards at 9.99 = $79.92; Wide Goods 3 1/2 Yards at 14.99 (an average price) = $52.47.
