I've thought of something else. I used to live in SE Pennsylvania and did all my fabric shopping at a store named Zooks in Intercourse, PA, the heart of PA Amish country. Zooks carries all the major brands and at prices several dollars below local quilt fabric stores in most of the rest of the U.S.. They carry first quality - no strike offs (rough cotton fabric that is printed to test out a new design). They can do this because they have bus loads of tourists visit every day. When I moved to the Florida Panhandle I thought I was doomed - no more Zooks. BUT, later at a visit back, one of the Amish ladies said they have a website (not maintained by Amish or course). Here it is - they have lots of good sales and specials: www.zandsfabrics.com
