Muslin Cotton Bags

[charlesk]

Does anybody know where I can get Muslin bags for summer sausage 3-4 lb  Canada or US
I am running low and can't find a dealer anywhere seems to be a lot of fibrous bags but no muslin
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Sorry  :(  I tried LEM, Sausage Maker and Allied Kenco but no luck.  I did find lots of possibilities when I googled "muslin bags".

Buy some fabric at WalMart for a few bucks.  Take to any upholstery shop and they will make you 50 bags to any size for a few $$

Hi charlesk

Did you try any local butcher shops in your area, I just buy mine from a local butcher shop when I'm doing summer sausage.
I'm only 1 hour north of you and most butcher shops in my area have no problem selling ready to load hog casing's or cotton bags
for summer sausage.
give your local shops a call see if that works for ya

I did Google Muslin Bags but didn't have any luck with the cotton bags  more so the fibrous ones unless I missed something

I did find one butcher supply place a couple hrs away but they wanted  a buck apiece for the bags which I thought was high
Am going to check into making them also

Am going to check some Butcher shops also have a few around here not to many a lot have closed

Sorry I couldn't help.  Hope you find what you're after.  Maybe some of the sausage experts will be along to help.

Good site thanks,  Everything I need, has a good price on 500 cotton muslin bags,  Just bought 1,000  7x11 vacuum bags for 8 cents apiece can get them there for 5 cents
am going to call them and get some shipping prices. I have an Port Huron Mich. mail box address should be pretty simple
There must be more suppliers out there even in Mich. or Ont. but I can't find them
