I regularly buy fabric online for my stash but have learned to only buy name brand. I do buy from my local quilting stores (because everything is just so beautiful) but I can not afford to use this as my only purchse place. My favorites are fabric.com (free shipping after $35 and great sales) fatquartershop.com and ebay (but you must be more careful reading the description and I usually only buy (now that I have learned) from either somebody I had a good experience previously or am looking for a specific fabric.
