on-line stores
I've been away for a while, so I've forgotten which on-line stores are best to buy from fabric as far as quality, price and speed of delivery. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have done business with Fabric.com, Connecting Threads, and a place in NH called Ann's Fabric and Crafts. Never been disappointed. They are reasonable and fairly swift. My sister just made an order from Missouri Quilt Co.

I just am going to submit a fabric order with Fabric Shack. I appreciate their discounted price on a priority envelope which is ALWAYS half price. There is a sale at Hancock of Paducah. PM me if you need the 20% off code. A good suggestion would be to sign up for email notices from the stores you look at and are impressed with.

Fabric Shack has low shipping, a huge selection, and will sell you 1/8 yd, they're the only ones I know who do. I'll look there first if I'm buying fabrics to audition. Most places have a 1/2 yd. minimum. Hawthorne Threads has low shipping and an enjoyable website, specializing in modern fabrics. Shabby Fabrics is great if you will be searching by color. I have found that Fat Quarter Shop has very accurate color representation. I really enjoy The Calico Cottage Quilt Shop, and you earn virtual cash back with each purchase, which you can apply to subsequent orders. I've only had one bad experience shopping for fabric on line (I never received the fabric, and they didn't respond to emails -- can't remember the name of the shop), but I had used PayPal to pay, so they got me a full refund. I prefer using PayPal because you don't have to enter your card information, so I tend to favor websites that offer that payment option. There are so many excellent on-line quilt shops. I usually discover them when googling for specific fabrics.

There was another post on this a few days ago so you might look back at those responses. I like fabric.com as they have free shipping on orders over $35, I also like the selection at the Fat quarter shop. A new one I found for great collections and sales is AbbiMays.com. And for cutting edge modern fabric my favorite is an Etsy store called The Meandering Thread.

I live in NH and never heard of Ann's fabric and Crafts. I will have to check it out. I do buy from Bits and pieces in Pelham, NH - they great deals/ I buy on line and have the hubby pick up at the shop on the way home from work.
