I use fabric shack all the time, have done for ages, they are great. They charge a minimal postage and they have very good sales all the time.

If you are into Batiks or Asian prints, Seawatch Fabrics is a great place to shop. Free shipping over $30 everyday, shipping is priority and is quick. They also have some fabrics printed specially for them, so you can't find them anywhere else. I'm always pleased with my orders!

If you sign up for the shop hop emails, you will get ads from places that occasionally offer free shipping.

Fabric.com and Connecting Threads are my favorites.

Delta Patchwork is another good one.

I love Connecting Threads!

How about Cotton Patch? Has anyone ordered from them?

I am in Canada also and have also bought from Connecting Threads and liked their service and the quality of the fabrics i bought. I have also bought from Favorite fabrics and love their fabric also. Even with shipping it is much cheaper to buy online than at any local shops. And yes, I agree that it is sad. I don't understand why the same fabrics that we can buy here are soooo much cheaper in the US even after paying the shipping charges.

Connecting Threads, Fabric.com, and Hancock's of Paducah online are my favorite sites.

And you should see it in person!!!! They are for me - it's located in a small town full of antiques shops and is a wonderful place to spend the day!

There is also their other store that has every possible piece of decorator fabric and trim imaginable!!

buying fabrics on line is easier if you sign up for all the newsletters ..... they'll let you know when they have good deals like free shipping or half price sales. i keep a list of all the online shops i come across, browse and sign up for their newsletters. have had a lot of good deals and no problems.
