Where can i buy cheap sequined fabric with sequins already sewed onto the fabric?

By raysmithtx · Saturday, July 24th, 2010

I need some fabric for a job, with sequins already sewed onto the fabric. I’d appreciate sites also!
Thanks for you answers, and I have checked the only fabric stores located around me, however what I’m looking for are those enlarged sequins, that hang loose off of the fabric. A girl i know needs me to make her this dress, but the fabric is no where to be found! Sites again would be helpful! Thank you!

try a sewing store.arts & craft type of store may have it like
Michael’s craft store,or acmoore

If you have a fabric store in your area by the name of Joanna they have a wide variety of fabrics for a great price you should check it out

There are a couple of varieties of sequinned fabrics that you might want to know about before buying.

1) Sequins sewn on with thread. When you cut the threads to cut the fabric, the sequins fall off and have to be sewn back on by hand. Also, you need to remove the sequins from seam allowances before sewing.

2) Sequins glued on. Can’t remove the sequins from the seam allowance, and the fabric is miserable to sew with. This is the sort you’ll normally find at Walmart, Joann, etc See hints here:

Must this be sequins? There are a lot of other fabrics with lots of sparkly yarns that are a whole lot easier to work with.
Fairly easy:
