Default Embroidery Blanks

I currently purchase merchandise for my home based embroidery business at Embroiderthis.com. Does anyone know of a better source for blanks? I order spa, baby and home decor items. I am also looking into selling bags and totes and found great resourses from this forum. Thanks for any help.

There are many, many sources. For one, EmbroiderThis.com has a wholesale side. S&S Activewear comes to mind for baby blankets.

Just got the new source book from Impressions magazine. Go to Impressionsmag.com to get a free subscription, and see if copies of the source book are available.

Are you buying your thread from them as well? Without a login, I can't see their wholesale prices. Their advertised prices on Madeira thread is high.... If you have a tax ID, you can get an account directly with Madeira and but direct at much better prices.

For stabilizers and other supplies, I usually use 5T's in New York. For blanks, I usually use Broder, Heritage Sportswear, Tri Mountain or Holloway.

Will check into Madeira thread website as I do have a tax ID#. Embroider This does not sell thread on the wholesale side. Thanks for the info.

For some blank bags and market totes (which have been a BIG hit) we use:

We also buy a lot of blanks from:
La Clover Handbag, Inc. The World Quality Bags Wholesale
Leo will really hook you up.

If you are looking for something in particular, just let me know and I will give you some places to go.

Jennifer, what does Tag sell? I am lazy and hate to register for something that I would never use.

I use 5ts.com for pretty much everything except thread. I use Madeira thread and get it directly from them, why pay a middle man? I've also ordered from redrockthreads.com when I need a couple of colors of Robison-Anton thread.

I used to use embroiderysupplies.com - they have some good things but keep an eye on your invoice to make sure they don't switch a price without telling you.

Not a huge difference, but if you buy the 5500 yard cones from Madeira, they are $7.15 each and from MIM Industries, they are $6.95 each.
