Canadian online fabric shops
 
I just found this site for fabric in Canada that seems to have really good prices. With the high exchange rate for cross-border shopping, the US online shops aren't a good option for me right now. Has anyone used them before? If so, what's your opinion on them?

Are there other shops you can recommend?

Looks like a good place for you Canadian neighbors to shop.

I hadn't heard of them, but I'll sure check them out! Thanks for posting about them.

I live less than an hour's drive from them and have never heard of them before. Our guild meets ten minutes away and I've never heard anyone mention them before. I'll have to check them out.

This is a good/great one. I haven't ordered from them but the ladies in my quilting group have and have had nothing but fantastic service.

If you spend over $200.00 you get free shipping and we know how easy it is to get to $200.00. Also check out their W&N batting, it is the cheapest around

Shelbie ... In 2014 I met her at the GNE when she was doing some of the fairs and shows to get a feel for that part of the business. She seemed quite nice and operates from her home in Caledon. She was not back at the 2015 fair. I have not been to her home or purchased online.

Re QuiltSource Canada ... Their site makes it seem as though they are for us. However, they only wholesale, and so, will be supplying many of your LQS'. For those that know the LQS, Hobby Horse in Glen Williams (Georgetown), it is the same people.

Re Canadian National Fabric ... for the most part, pricing is per 1/4 yard. FQs are based on that and not the larger metric FQs that many of us have become used to. Not saying that is wrong, just that we have to keep it in mind and not be disappointed later. Likewise, it's important to watch in other virtual shops, as it is with the bricks and mortars.

Re Along Came Quilting ... Another QB member has and I know that she speaks very highly of them. I have not dealt with them personally.
