Canadian on-line shops
Anyone know of a Canadian on-line LQS. Just was looking at the For Sale site here. Made realize I need a couple Xmas fabrics ie. jelly rolls. Do any Canadians sell on this site. Can't ask anyone to ship to Canada as it's just too costly.

I believe there is a shop in B.C. called Hamels fabric that I seen online. have never ordered from them though.

I order from usa all the time being in Canada I only order from shops that charge actual shipping.
Here are 2 I deal with. The Quit place and Happy Apple both in Florida. ae |

Was there something specific you were seeking? |
These are the ones I know about, though I'm sure there are more, and am interested in web sites that others can provide.
Stitch in the Ditch: http://www.stitchintheditch.com/ I have ordered from them and things were delivered promptly. Flare Fabrices: http://www.flarefabrics.ca/ I personally really like their fabrics, but haven't yet placed an order. I'll watch for more sites in Canada that I can check out. Aileen |
Veronicas Sewing Supplies in Kindersley, Sask does mail outs. This is the website http://www.veronicasewingsupplies.com/index.php if you can't find what you want on their website you could give them a phone call.

Sew-sisters.ca is very good. I have used their on line store and have visited their brick and mortar store in Toronto. There are a couple of good stores in the US that do not charge an arm and a leg to ship here. Connecting Threads and Fabric.com come to mind. Depending on the amount that you want (and the kind of sale price you might get) I have found that a large order is often better than a couple of small ones.

My local bricks and mortar store is so good, combined with Len's Mill Store, I don't usually need to go elsewhere (except Connecting Threads).

Canada isn't too bad to ship to, but Europe is! I feel badly for buyers that have to pay such high shipping...even the US is getting to be too much.

Hamels always has a 20% off yardage prices on the first Friday-Sunday of the month, it's always just yardage never notions or pre-cuts. If you sign up for their emails you'll get a reminder.
Otherwise I buy from the US, http://www.fatquartershop.com/ and every so often they have a shipping reduced promotion and www.connectingthreads.com has great prices and the shipping & exchange cost is reasonable. I also buy from www.whittlesfabrics.com but I live fairly close to a border town and I have it sent to a package receiving store and go across to pick it up but their prices are so great that even with the added cost of shipping to Canada it's less than a LQS. I'm buying a little less from the US now that our dollar has dropped but I sew mostly with civil war fabrics and there isn't much selection in Canada. |
