Hi, I found some Christian themed fabric at Hobby Lobby just before Christmas. It was beautiful and subtle. It could be the concern (selling religious themed fabric) would be the fabric might not sell as quickly and would sit on the shelf.

As probably the only voice from the other side of the coin, I will not shop in places that have too much religious themed product. For me, the product you select to display and sell speaks of the customer base you are wishing to attract. As a non-religious person, I save my few pennies for those who are reaching to a wider base.

Just received an e-mail from Michael Miller Fabrics... they have posted new (probably future) collections on their site. And guess what, they have a few religious ones! http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/...t.cfm?Gid=1239 Crosses, angels, and in the holiday section they have some Jewish ones too. So they, at least, are willing to invest in this niche market.

B.J.'s (LQS) carries religious pattern fabric & it sells very well. I recently bought a panel & border material of "Amazing Grace" to make a wall hanging for Easter. If there is a demand, they will stock it.
