I went to Ikea in Atlanta on Sat, 9/2, and sure enough found their fabric ! They are having a sale on several selected fabrics, $3.99 a yard, some of it is regularly $8.99 a yard. Nice selection nice colors. My only problem is that because I am so new to quilting I'm a bit unsure of what to buy. The fabric bolts did not indicate what the content was, nor washing instructions. Too, it was not "quilting" weight, but heavier, yet not a canvas/duck weight. I thought it might make a nice wall hanging since the care instructions are unclear. Only bought a pre cut piece of white/red juvenile print that I could always use for a wall hanging in a nursery....
My advice would be NOT to rush out to an Ikea thinking you are going to get a great quilting buy.....might be nice for purses, place mats,etc. |
We don't have fabric but there is a great sale on shelves -- the ones with the cube style. I got a set of 4 across and 4 high and then a set of 4 across and 2 high. I will post pics when I get the sewing area organized !!! Some assembly required on the shelves.

I never knew Ikea had fabric. What about the one in Pittsburgh?
|
I have used Ikea fabric to make several purses. The fabric I used was a heavier weight cotton, and the bags came out great.
|
I've seen the fabric at Ikea and totally agree with the discription given. They also have thread sold in packs of 4. Am not real pleased with the quality. It breaks a lot when piecing.

Ikea has fabric!?!?!? I can't recall having seen any!
|
Ikea in Pittsburgh has fabric.We were there a few weeks ago and I bought a nice grey&white print to make a new purse.
|
I bought three bolts of fabric from IKEA last year and all were quilting weight cottons. There were about two yards on each of the bolts.
|
Baltimore ikea today, several bolts of just-heavier-than-quilting weight at $2 a yard. Also, the duvet covers have some amazing large scale prints. One duvet cover = 2 quilt backings.
(also, i use ivar shelving in the quilt room) |
I need to go to but cant for a couple of weeks. I want to check out their materials, hope they are on special here too. I also need to buy some blueberry jam (yum) and also some of their mustard which I love..
