    I too love shopping on line. Here is one more trustworthy site...Quilt in a Day, Eleanore Burns. Her newsletter this morning...3 days free shipping with a minimum of $20. No, I am not affiliated..just a quilter looking for good resources. Happy shopping!

    I have made purchases from Ann's Fabric and Crafts several times and have never been disapointed.

    1st off, Hello! Welcome to this great board! I agree with the others who have mentioned Connectingthreads.com, I love their fabrics, and they also state they allow returns, even on special cut fabrics...However, I have never wanted nor needed to return anything, so I can't speak to that policy. I also have bought fabrics from Fabric.com, and several places on Ebay. I try and always mention one particular seller on Ebay, as she has high quality fabric, and she sells a lot of different wide quilt backing fabrics and her prices are so great, here is a link to her store, this link is actually the page listing the wide quilt backings:
    http://stores.ebay.com/QUILT-UNIQUE-...=p4634.c0.m322
    I also always add that I don't know her personally, nor do I get any compensation for mentioning her I just love her fabric, and the prices are better than any I have found, even including the shipping..
    Regards,
    Kif

    I also just got my first order from Connecting Threads & is it ever nice. I have also wondered how the matching is from them. I would really love to order more.

    I shop at all of the above. But I love Beverly's fabric. They have a special every day of 3 fabrics that are at a great price. It comes out at 11am central for me. All LQS quailty.

    Just remember, you get what you pay for. Cheaply priced fabric will be cheap fabric.
    I purchase fabric from a quilt store/online sales. I order from Ericas, I have never been disapointed in the quality of the fabric. She carries the same quality brands as your LQS. I watch and buy when she has sales. Which she has some good sales going on until Sept.
    19th, with free shipping on orders of $35.00 Sometimes the colors are slightly off, but not enough to matter.
    She is located in Indiana and you usually receive your order in 3 days. She can get up to 5 yards in an envelope
    for $5.90 shipping. There is a place for extra instructions, so if I am ordereing 6 yards for a backing fabric, I note this is a quilt back, must be 6 yards, nothing less. This way they don't ship me the end of bolt 2 yards or whatever that will do me no good. They will call you if they have a question about your order. Ericas has great fabric, and a great place to order quilting supplies, embroidery threads, etc. The mailman puts my order right in the box for quick delivery.
    fatquartershop.com is the other place I order fabric. They are in Texas, and carry LQS quality fabric.
    They deliver through UPS so it does take a little longer to get an order. I haven't found any of their sale fabric I like so far, but they always have a lot of fabric on sale.

    I've ordered from Connecting Threads and Missouri Star Quits and I've been happy with the things I've received. I didn't wait a long time for my order to be processed and shipped.
