I buy most of my fabric from Connecting Threads. I like their thread too. My machine likes it so I like it. Every Wednesday there is a web special and sometimes there is fabric for $3 a yard or less. That's when I buy for backing. The fabric is very nice. I have never had a problem ordering online but you can call in an order and request a free catalog. Keepsakes Quilting has great buys on fat quarters. I bought 100 fat quarters for $99 with free shipping. Everyone was different fabric. Quilt in a Day has great sales and excellent customer service too. Bayside Quilting has blow out sales often, one going on right now. I buy most of my quilting tools from I Have A Notion. She has the best prices on high end tools.
