Fat Quarter Shop is my all time favorite online store. Shabby Fabric is one of my fav's also. I have never had any trouble with ebay. If they take your money and run, turn them in. Ebay promises to pay you if something like that happens. And if it smells like smoke, send it back. Ebay promises that they will reimburse you if you are not satisfyed. I buy from moandmacs on ebay. Wonderful store. They always send me gifts with my orders. They once sent me a book about all the quilter's who published with CT Publishing and the women all had great stories to tell. Very good store to shop. I also shop at The Quilting Bee in Austin, TX. I shop online all the time now. When I go to the local quilt shops, they only have a few fabrics from any given line. Online I can get the whole fabric line, if I choose. But I do shop at my LQS frequently.
