I order fabric online all of the time--I ws bragging that I hadn't been to the local fabric shop in over 2 weeks and a large bundle of fabric arrived in the mail-oops I got caught. Fabric.com, fatquartershop but I have purchased from many other ones as well. I have never had a problem. I even have found matching fabric on ebay for half-price! The only thing is you can't touch the fabric but if you are ordering 100% cotton than you are usually ok.
