I buy all my quilt books and most of my quilting tools from Amazon. The fabric I have bought has been fine. Prices change drastically on Amazon from sellers. For example I bought the no steam dry iron for $9 free shipping. The next day to order more for friends the price was $29.99 and no free shipping. The dealers clear out their inventory and you never know when. I keep items I would like to buy on my wish list and check them daily. I have gotten most of the items for 75% off the original price. Today the ten ft. Iphone charger cord I had on my list dropped to .50 each. I bought all the dealer had in stock (8) 4 of them for Iphone 5, for Christmas stocking stuffers. All my family members use Iphones and forever losing a charger. I bought one last year from the same dealer and the cord hasn't broken at the plug like most usually do. He was a prime dealer so I got free shipping. Amazon will save you lots of money if you put it to work for you.
