I purchase all my fabric from my LQS. I have never ordered fabric online. I want to see and feel the quality of the fabric before I buy it. I also purchase my thread there as well because it is important to use good thread. Rotary blades, rulers, etc. is cheaper to purchase at JoAnns and use a coupon.

I do most of my shopping on line, only because I'm in a wheelchair, and it's difficult for me to get out. I have been to my local LQS, and would love to spend more time there, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. I like seeing and feeling the fabric. Although most of what I have ordered was perfect, but I did get a few things that were not the right color, or were totally different than what the pictures looked like.

I'm an online addict. Have found some of the most gorgeous fabrics and prices I could never match in the brick and mortar stores.

I've never had an issue, and I often order online. I have 1 LQS that's nasty so I don't go there, and the other one is 45-50 minutes away from me, so it's rare I go.
