I am looking for a list of all the different fabric manufacturers out
there, especially those who make fabrics for quilts.  I would like to
get a list of the manufacturers in an ASCII text file, one
manufacturer per line like:

Please take note that  in the following link:
http://www.teonline.com/fabrics/quilted-fabric.html

I only included the manufacturers and not those who were classified as
wholesalers or exporters.

Great job.  Very thorough. Thanks.

Why not use parts of old clothing, thats what they used to use (in the
old days). You could go to yard saled, thrift stores, your closet
etc... I think it would give the quilt character.
