Any suggestions for finding old fabric?
 
I'm desperately looking for some fabric from about three years ago (Haiku by Moda, 33075-14), I've checked with the larger on line stores, LQS's, fabric search engines, ebay, etsy, amazon and I just put an ad into missingfabrics dot com. I'm coming up empty except for one on-line shop that is out of the country. Anyone have any suggestions as to where else I might be able to find old fabric? I have a little less than a fat quarter and it's the perfect piece for the background on my next project. Thanks!

you might check with stores that typically sell out of "season" fabrics for the big manufacturers--such as some of the fabrics in eQuilter.com; QuiltFabricCloseout, etc. Marshall's Dry Goods at times, etc.

One good thing about Moda, their lines often use the same colors in different patterns. If you have to reinvent the wheel, consider making a color search by manufacturer. You might come up with a companion piece in the line.

Looks like at least 1 seller on etsy has it. https://www.etsy.com/no-en/listing/7...listing_bot-12

Have you tried posting a picture on the fb groups like Quilters Classifieds? Other quilters recognize fabric by the look rather than the name sometimes.

The same thing happened to me last year. Someone on the board had some!
I hope the person who may have it sees this post.

Sent you a PM - don't know if this helps but it's a start
i will also ask at my Guild meeting tonight - never know if someone has some.

Quiltingshorttimer - thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate your help. I tried the sites you recommended and did searches for "discontinued fabrics" but still coming up empty. I'll keep looking . . . . .

Thank you toverly, I'll check out some of their newer lines. That's the good thing about some of the patterns and colors, often I've found later fabrics that can be used perfectly with older fabrics.
