Favorite On-Line Fabric & Quilting Stores?
I'm fairly new to this board (and new to sewing/quilting) and have found some wonderful online stores for both fabric and quilting notions/tools (yep - I've caught the bug - like to collect quilting fabric, notions and books - of course on sale!). Every once in while I read about yet another great store - which makes me wonder what else there may be out there!
What is YOUR favorite place to shop online (preferably that has good quality as well as good/low prices, sales, or coupons from time to time)?
There are a couple of local quilt shops nearby but unfortunately they are not open in the evenings when I'm able to get out of the house to shop! So that leaves Joann's, Hobby Lobby & Walmart. Great low prices (and sales/coupons at Jo's & HL), but not always the best quality.
Here are a few of my favorite online shops where I've consistently found good prices, frequent sales, good quality merchandise and great customer service:
FabricDepot.com (my absolute favorite)
Connectingthreads.com
Hancocks-Paducah.com
NancysNotions.com
MissouriQuiltCo.com
Any others??

www.thousandsofbolts.com; good prices, quality fabrics, lots of fabrics. You can sort by color or theme, you can audition your choices with each other, you can even try them out in a sample block, I think.

fabric.com has been my go-to shop for years- good prices, great selection- and free shipping at the $35 level (I can always find $35 worth to spend) I've actually been shopping with them for something like 15 years. also, Keepsake quilting, Jenny Beyer, PineNeedles, Bear Paw quilting...there are so many! If you join the 'fabshophop' you will have access to literally hundreds of shops to browse/check out- the shop hop happens *I think* 10 times a year- you have a month to locate a 'shop hop bunny' at each of the participating shops- and register for prizes---it is free---many of the shops offer additional free drawings if you sign up for their monthly newsletter...over the years I've won many great prizes- fabric collections, gift certificates, new rulers, books...you can also add shops to a 'favorites' list- if it is a shop you fall in love with & want to go back & visit for specific items.. the May hop has 140 shops...the number does vary from about 130 up to 180 shops participating in each hop...they also have bonus bunnies- free patterns---check it out....just type in Fabshophop---sign up & start hopping.

Another vote for Fabric.com from me. They're everything ckcowl says, and when they (rarely) mess up an order they go out of their way to make it right. AND they keep detailed order history so you can look back and find the exact name of something you bought in the past, which is awesome. AND you can register as a "partner" or something like that and get shopping points...I think that's a new thing they're doing (at least, I only recently noticed it) and I was able to redeem $25.00 against my order. Hard to beat that!
And another vote for Beverlys.com too (they're a local store for me, but sometimes their online sales are better than in-store.)
