I need to order some fabric that isn't available here in NZ, and I'm a *wee* bit nervous about buying sight unseen from an online shop. I have bought off ebay once before, and that went well, but we hear so many horror stories about goods not turning up and credit card fraud, etc.

Can you guys recommend good online stores that you've used? I need some fabric with Pug dogs on it.

Thank you! :-)

Other than eBay, the only other online place I've ordered from has been Connecting Threads. I was very pleased with them.

I used Whittles Fabrics and Connecting Threds and had good service from both. Some shops do not ship overseas though but I don't know about those two. Good luck

i've bunch tons and tons of fabric from these places and have been thrilled to death.

Thanks.... it's always good to have real people's experiences. :-)

Whittles say they don't ship overseas, and Connecting Threads don't have what I'm looking for, but they do have some very nice fabrics! I've bookmarked that one, thank you.

And thank you klue, I'll go have a look at those ones now. :-)

Don't know if they ship overseas or will have what you want but Nixie Chicks is good. Also Eleanor Burns has lots of fabrics and sometimes great sales. :D

I'm having trouble finding anything like the picture I have in my head. I may have to print my own pictures.

I've ordered from Grandma's Attic in Dallas, Oregon and was very pleased with their service. LINK

I love fabric.com -- and they take PayPal and a lot of other credit cards. Their prices are reasonable and they ship very quickly!
