I have bought wide backing fabrics from fabric.com and thousandsofbolts.com and been pleased with all of them. I also buy wide muslin by the bolt at Hancocks with a 50% off coupon.

Here's another vote for Connecting Threads. I have only bought one backing from them but it is very nice. We have used a bunch of their regular 44" fabrics and loved them.

I purchase about 98% of my wide backs from fabric.com. Good selection, good prices, free shipping at $35 I've never been disappointed, been shopping with them for 15+ years.

I really like Fabric.com - even if they are not as good as they were a few years ago. I have also had good luck on Amazon. I watch the sellers and I have gotten from Hancock's of Paducah and Fabric.com Sometimes I feel like the shipping costs are little cheaper through Amazon.

I like Missouri Star as well but I don't buy from them as often as I do from the others

I've bought wide backing online from Fabric.com and Connecting Threads and have not been disappointed. The only thing I'd be careful of is the color. We all have seen where colors displayed on the computer are not true. Early on I bought some wide backing that I thought was peach and it turned out to be a bright orange. On my computer, a laptop, the color intensity on the screen depends on the angle of the screen. I had to experiment a little before I had the right angle to display fairly true colors when shopping for fabric.

I've bought from a huge number of on-line shops and there's no problem with quality. The problem is, the monitor representation of the fabric is not always accurate, so you sometimes get surprises with the color or the scale of the design. I love muslin for a quilt back, depending on the quilt.

Muslin works fine and having bought wideback from several on line (Connecting Threads, Fabric.com, eQuilter, etc) I'd say the same thing about on-line as when I buy in a shop or Hancock's---always buy more than you need as wideback is almost always off square and needs to be squared up--by 3-6" usually. (but I'm had worst!)

Marshall Dry Goods has an excellent selection with great prices.

I go on ebay and buy for $7.99 a yard, it is a decent quality, 105 wide but choices are limited. I love muslin most of all but I understand wanting more prints

Marshall's Dry Goods has nice quality backings in prints and they are reasonably priced. 108" wide runs $7.99 to 8.99, and they have great prices on batting rolls and other fabrics, too.
