WANTED Pillow Ticking

[Troyfairweather]

Got some from Joann's Fabric, no idea on thickness.

I have one of them down the road, I have to go and see what they have.

I went into a remnant shop armed with my BIC. lighter and asked if I could try a burn test on a small piece if pillow ticking ?and to my amazement she said yes? and it was the real deal. and she made a sale! why buy it and get home and have a worthless piece of CLOTH??

Since you only need a couple thread samples from the warp and the weft, a small pair of scissors (& shop OK) to collect them, can get over objections to setting their stock on fire.

Any idea where I can get .020 or .022 pillow ticking? Thanks.

Wal-Mart, Jo Anne’s Fabrics, almost any fabric store. A square yard or two will last you a long time, and is cheap.
Take some calipers with you. you will get some strange looks, but who cares?

I would respectfully suggest measuring the thickness only after washing out the sizing...….
