I buy the majority of my fabric from Marshall's Dry Goods because it's close to me. I can buy bolts at wholesale prices (no tax ID needed). When I find Robert Kauffman solids at Hobby Lobby I use the 40% off coupon for the bolt. I like going to Marshall's as I can browse the warehouse and find 8 yard bolts. They only sell 20 or more yards per bolt online. I rarely shop at JoAnn's as their markup on fabric is way too much, even with coupon. I recommend buying name brand fabric from Marshall's. I will buy the MDG brad only if I can feel it first, some are a little too stiff for my liking and the colors seem dull but good quality fabric.
