Can you all give me your opinion about online shopping...the best website to shop on...and if the quality of fabric is good. I've seen connectingthreads and I will be trying them out. Great prices too.
I would also like to know a good place to get Jo Morton fabrics ONLINE.

I really like Fabric Depot, you can go to their site and sign up for online sale notifications. :D:D:D
Check out the sites shipping prices before shopping... they can be a deal breaker right out of the gate for me :wink:

If you pick name-brand fabrics at an on-line, it should always be as good as at your LQS. We have an on-line store that is an extension of our brick-and-mortar store. Both the on-line store and the brick-and-mortar store sell the same fabric off the same bolts.

Just watch your shipping costs, they can kill you. I live in a subdivision that is in the country just a mile or so out of town.There are retail businesses well within a mile of me, but UPS adds an dditional cost for shipping because it is determined by them to be a rural area. I buy from Keepsake and have purchased from Connecting Threads. The last order from CT was dissappointing to me because the quality was not very good. Not terrible but not what I expected.

I like Connecting Threads for their kits. Keepsake Quilting is good too, but can be costly. My all time favorite is Fabric.com. They have free shipping on orders over $35, which is easy to achieve. Sign up for their e-mail list. The orders come usually within a week. Grandmasatticquilting.com is another good one. She has all qualities of fabric. Clotilde.com has fabric and patterns. I found something I couldn't find anywhere else at abbimays.com. There are so many I could go on and on.
