I bought some fabric from fabric.com this weekend and thought I really got a good deal. I needed half a yard of a Moda to finish up a border, and my LQS was out. Checked online and ended up there. The fabric I needed was on sale, and I started browsing. Put some more in the cart, thought I would think about it, and then found a coupon code for 20% off total purchase. :-) I ended up with 6 yards of fabric - all name brand- for a total of 34.70. They have free shipping with orders of $35 and more and apparently my order was close enough to qualify.
I agree that it's nice to know what you're getting. I had seen 3 of the 5 pieces I got, and have always been satisfied with the "brand" of the other two. I'm looking forward to getting my order.
