You haven't been to a fabric store or quilt shop yet? You need fill up your gas tank and start driving. LOL. Fabric is easy to find online. All online fabric shops have clearance sales. I buy from many different ones. In the Links and Resources section sales are always listed. I buy a lot when I find a great sale.

Throwing in my vote for Thousands of Bolts: large selection, good prices, good quality, and you can sort fabrics by "theme"; you can also select fabrics and audition them with each other, and in a block

I checked on Google and there are several Fabric Outlet sites to select, each one has a Facebook page. Which one are you referring to? I'm assuming they are different stores as they are located in different cities. Thanks!

Yes, I would agree that it would be best for you to visit several stores to educate yourself about different types of fabrics. Just by touching you can get an idea of quality of weave, etc. is. Enjoy!

If you're in the US, there are many stores which carry inexpensive quality fabric. Hobby Lobby is my favorite. Much of their fabric is consistently 30% off the price on the bolt, which makes it very affordable.

I have always had good luck with Thousands of Bolts too. Fabric Shack is also on my favorite list.

Never by 'cheap' quality fabrics. You will make cheap looking quilts. Find a couple places that has 'good'
quality fabric, but has great sales. This way you get good fabric for reasonable prices.
I buy from Ericas (Indiana) and fatquartershop (Texas). Both places have great sales with fabric 40-50% off.
This is quilt store quality fabric because these are quilt stores. Sign up for the newsletters and you will be notified when they have sales. Choose a couple quilts to make and purchase only fabric you need for these quilts.
That way you don't purchase fabric you may not use. Happy Quilting

I've gotten into lots of trouble by shopping the Web Sales on the Hancock's of Paducah site - name brand fabrics at closeout prices of $3-$7/yd.

I just received an order, from Thousands of Bolts. . . and am mostly thrilled with my order. Just be careful to notice the fabric brands, you order! I ordered and am very happy with Studio E, FabriQuilt, South Seas Imports, Benartex (my favorite of the bunch), and In the Beginning. The only one I'm (very) disappointed in, is SPX Fabrics. That last one is very stiff and doesn't even feel like cotton. Will wash it and see what happens . . . but I predict a lot of fraying, judging by the look/feel of it. They were all fairly inexpensive!
