I purchase from them all the time. I love that they have free shipping and always seem to have some kind of coupon for an additional percentage off. I expect to receive a shipment today. I can't wait. I have found the quality to be great! They have a great assortment of Fairy Frost which I love to use.

I met the owner here at Puyallup one year at the expo. they are all very nice people. I have never been disappointed. They do have the best minkie I've ever seen,so I do order that from them always. and may I add less expensive.

I love Fabric.com and if you spend $35 the shipping is free! They have a lot of wide fabric so you can back your quilts without a seam...really love that!

Have purchased fabric here many times. Generous with their cuts and very prompt service.

Sheree from Chicago 06-27-2011 06:32 AM

I have to check them out! One can never have too many options fo purchasing fabric!

I agree. I have ordered several times and prompt service each time and have received exactly what I ordered.

Momo 06-27-2011 07:17 AM

I have bought a couple of times. Very nice quality. I will buy again and I get enough so the shipping is free!

I use Connecting threads a lot. Probably way more than I should!! My last order was quite large. Because the electronic order form was not working right, I had to place the order over the phone. I ordered 48 different fabrics with various yardages. When my order came, one fabric was only 1 yard, when I had ordered two, one fabric was simply the wrong fabric as the lady had mistyped the product number, and two of the fabrics I just didn't care for as they didn't look in real life like I was expecting.

I called CT and the Customer Service Rep was very nice and professional. She apologized profusely for the mistakes and inconvenience. She told me to keep all the fabric that was wrong or that I didn't like and shipped me a new 2 yard piece of the one I had ordered and had been only one yard. Then she immediately processed a credit on my credit card for all of the products I didn't like, as well as the product they had made a mistake on, even though I kept it all. To me, every company has a bad day now and again, but when there was a mistake, they went way above and beyond the call of duty to make it right for me. I repeatedly offered to return the fabric I didn't like and that was wrong, and she pleasantly told me that it really costs them more to take it back and they would rather I just keep it for the inconvenience they had caused me. How great is that Customer Service?? Out of all the times I have ordered, that was the only time they had made a mistake, and they made it right within a matter of minutes. So I give them an A+ for their fabric and their attention to customer satisfaction.

Thanks for all the information on Fabric.com. I'll try them based on all the recommendations.

Qwiltylady 06-27-2011 08:52 AM

I too order all the time from fabric.com. There always seems to be a mistake in each order but then I always order lots. And they correct each mistake and let me keep the mistake but it can be disappointing to receive the wrong fabric.

I also buy from connecting thread and marshall drygoods. Both have excellent fabrics at great prices.

mariebaker 06-27-2011 08:56 AM

I have bought lots of fabric from them, especially when they were a new company.
A couple of times over the last couple of years; however, I ordered fabric that showed plenty of yardage in stock: 10-20 yards, etc. Once an order is placed and paid for I assume that it is "saved" for me. Not a Fabric.com it seems. Both times I got an email a few days later w/ apologies that the fabric was no available. One time I was in the middle of a quilt for my son and needed an exact fabric, but it was gone.
This experience may be particular to me, but I seldom use them anymore.

pollym44 06-27-2011 09:13 AM

The best site I've used so far. Never asked for anything back even when I offered to send it---they just re-placed the item!!
GREAT cust svc and very friendly. thumbup: :thumbup:

paprpcr 06-27-2011 09:27 AM

This is truly a wonderful mail order site. The cuts are generous, the shipping fast and the sales are great. I order a lot from them and I have many LQSs nearby.

retrogirl02 06-27-2011 09:46 AM

I have had great experiences with fabric.com. I first found them through Amazon & have returned several times for designer fabrics at reduced cost.

I just bought a yard this weekend and it usually just takes a couple days without priorty shipping.

newquilter10 06-27-2011 10:13 AM

Love Fabric.com and the material looks even better than it does online.

joyce888 06-27-2011 10:13 AM

Love it! Only spend $35 and get free shipping. Never been disappointed with service.

kjym 06-27-2011 10:35 AM

I also order from them. I love the free shipping and the order always comes in a short time.
My only complaint is that there is so much that I want to buy and I some times go over board on my spending.
Last time I decided that I would be good and by the time I totaled up my order I had 80 yards. I have got to stay off of there website for awhile. But it is so tempting.

I have used them for at least 6 years...The shipping is very fast...I usually get it in 1 or 2 days from order. (I live in the same state as their warehouse). They give a generous 37/38 inches per yard. I buy a lot of fabric from them and only once was the order not right. I called them and they sent out the right fabric that day and told me to keep the wrong one. They are terrific and recommend them highly!!!!!!!

jjazzy 06-27-2011 10:50 AM

I buy from Fabric.com often, and have been very happy with my purchases.

Jammin' Jane 06-27-2011 11:26 AM

I am very pleased with fabric.com.
They are very generous with their cuts!

cr12cats 06-27-2011 11:41 AM

i buy my muslin by bolt and material from them and love the no shipping for spending 35 dollars . they have always been speedy getting my order out and i have always been pleased with what i got, the only problem i do have is limiting myself to the 35 dollars lol. great site in my book

Homemother 06-27-2011 11:57 AM

Fabric.com gets an A+++++ from me!!!

Rose Bagwell 06-27-2011 12:06 PM

This is the main one I order from. I am very well satisfied with fabric, service and amts. No problems as of yet and I have been using them for the past 3 years. Their clearance fabric is good, not the thin cheapy kind.

Pinklady 06-27-2011 12:13 PM

Funny you ask, I just received my order about 20 minutes ago from them. Very nice material, and it was quick to get here. Yes the free shipping helps.

I have never bought fabric on line and am considering it. Thanks

I love this site. I buy from them all the time since I make items to sell and can't get the good prices from the quilt shops. They have quality (designer) fabrics and I've never had a problem. Been dealing with them for a couple of years now.

I did have one incident where I got the wrong piece of fabric. When I called, they said the original fabric was no longer available and would issue a credit on my account. I asked about returning the "wrong" fabric and they said to keep it.

I'm very comfortable buying from their site. In fact, the fabric usually looks prettier in person. Very pleased with fabric.com.

I just got a 15% off coupon for my birthday the other day. Of course, I couldn't ignore that. Plus if you put items in your cart and save it.....wait a few days and they will usually send you an email with a coupon to entice you to complete the sale. Just a tip.

carla m 06-27-2011 03:12 PM

theyre great and they have beautiful fabric and i think the pics dont do it justice i bought some purple batik last time i ordered and it was even more stunning in person. im gonna have to order some more of it 1 yard wasnt nearly enough )))).it got here really fast too.

I've had great service from Fabric.com. Although the packaging might not be as nice as some (not wrapped in tissue or put in a plastic bag inside the box), the prices are hard to beat! I'll definitely use them again.

d.swindle 06-27-2011 03:32 PM

I have ordered from Fabric.com for about as long as they have been in business and when they say you can return fabric they don"t argure about it, I have ordered sone fabric, that I wasn't sure of and they took it back, the return label was on them, I order most of my sewing and quilting fabric,because I don't live very close to a good fabric store.

softpatches 06-27-2011 03:57 PM

I do 95% of my fabric shopping on line and Fabric.com is my #1 go to shop by far. I have been using them for too many years to say,LOL and never been disappointed, shorted, etc..... They are the best---

patski 06-27-2011 04:13 PM

I've ordered frequently from Fabric.com. Sales are fantastic AND they send an occasional coupon for extra savings on top of the sale price. Fast, good service, great fabric!

Love them.

Use their 15% coupons if you can find them.
