I've only ordered online a few times and found that the quality was rather hit or miss. We have one little store here that sells most of their fabric from $3.99 to $5.99 a yard and it is good, quality fabric. I try to buy as much as I can there. The other LQS is a little higher, but I still love to feel the fabric before I buy it. Most of my fabriv shopping is from the smaller stores. However, I did make quite a haul at Hancock's last week on Christmas fabric. My goal is to put Christmas quilts on every bed in our house and our kids houses!
