I was hesitant like many of you, when I first thought about buying fabric online. I like to touch the fabric, and I was afraid of how the color may vary from what I see on the monitor. I have since bought quite alot online and I have had wonderful experiences. Only once did a shop send me something that I didn't want, she was busy at christmas, and was out of the color I wanted, so she sent me the fabric in a different color, without calling or emailing me. Every other time has been great. The colors have been exactly as I had hoped. Quiltshops.com is a great site, over 220 quilt shops in one site.
