Where do buy your fabric from?

When visiting in WA twice a year I get my fabric fix at Fabric Depot in Portland, OR. Love, love, love it!!! Also order on-line from them.

I buy fabric where ever I find it. Lots from Joann's, but also Hancock, Hobby Lobby, LQS, Walmart, etc.
Not fussy, as long as the price is right and the quality is good.

It would be easier for me to tell you where I don't buy it from. I buy on-line, and LQS. Yep I have even pruchased at Jo'Anns, Hobby Lobby ..the one place I don't is Walmart... mine does not have one thread of fabric.

Just found this shop, great prices, QS quality, great sales, (5.00 yd.) and right now $5.00 shipping on all domestic. Whittles Fabrics. Great Shop!!

Wherever they sell it - except Walmart.

I love to support my LQS's! Esp when with quilt buddies on road trips. :) Fabric Depot is close enough, that I can get there a few times a year.

I do not shop on line, because I am a touchy feel-y person.

On line almost always, except for the few times I would be near a quilt shop.

i shop at a local chain... Mill End Textiles http://www.millendtextiles.com/
they have very low starting prices and have fantastic coupons

Where ever I can find it lqs, joann's, hobby lobby, on line.

I love shopping online at Connecting Threads as I can buy a collection of prints, knowing that they will all match. The fabric is great quality, customer service outstanding and great pricing. If I have to match a shade of fabric, then I head to the stores - starting at WalMart, then JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby last (because they have very little selection). If all else fails, then I have two LQS that I look, but their pricing is normally out of my budget. I will also look for fabrics at garage sales, Good Will stores. My friends all look for fabric at garage sales for me and sometimes I can get a great deal.

Connecting threads, wal mart, hobby lobby. Very seldom do I buy from quilt stores, too high a price there.

Equilter.com, Hancock's, Walmart

There is a store with a nice fabric department within walking distance from me. They have a good selection with great prices. I purchase for the project otherwise it would be too tempting to build a stash.

Hancock's, Walmart, garage - estate sales. Anywhere I can get a good deal!

all of the above and don't for get yard/estate sales, picked some there too.

depends on what i need- the lqs, fabric.com (mainly backing, basics) bayside quilt company (panals, licensed fabrics)primative gatherings, wool central...
i shop around for what i need-looking for reasonable levels for free shipping, or good shipping prices, a good selection & good prices- but it just depends on what i need- if i know my lqs has it=i go there- if i know they do not i generally check fabric.com first (free shipping at $35 and i've been shopping with them for 11+ years) if they do not have what i'm looking for i check the fabshophop list of shops & browse/search for what i'm looking for.

Have you ever tried fabric depot online? They have really good buys out there, shipping is reasonable and they are prompt. I passed Fabric Depot on my way home from work for 13 years..... and stopped way more than I should have :-) But even when I lived there and it was that close I used to do the online orders and then pick them up.... if I knew what I wanted. Every time to go to Portland I make it a point to stop at least once!

I've bought at LQS only if there is a sale, ditto with online sources, sometimes at Joann Fabrics if on sale, and if the quality is good. I have found some really good buys at garage sales and thrift stores. Once at an estate sale. The trick is to read the selvages and look for well known names such as Timeless Treasures, Moda, etc. I avoid the calicos...bought too much of them when I first started quilting and didn't know better, lol.

everywhere online, joanns, walmart, LQS

I like to feel the fabric when buying for quilts. I have some local favorite shops The Quilt Patch and G Street Fabrics. I do have a store that is a little farther from home but worth the drive. It's called Webfabrics. I do order online from them because I know the quality of their fabrics but I treat myself to a field trip every so often.

Most often online is eQuilter and I have ordered from Fabric Depot and Thousands of Bolts. In person, Country Sewing Center in Elk Grove, Thistle Dew in Fair Oaks, and Quilter's Corner, Sacramento. I'm happy with all of them. :)

LQS and Fabric.com. Best deals and fabulous customer service. Free shipping on orders over $35.

My favorite places are Joann Fabrics where I can go in person, online I shop at Connecting Threads, Equilter, Handcock of Paducah and Keepsake Quilting. Those are my favorites.

Where ever I see fabric I like - LQS, Hobby Lobby, Hancocks, Joanns, yard sales, thrift stores, online. Most of the LQS have closed around here but there is a great store called A & E in Pensacola, FL that is half drug store and half fabric and they have a wonderful selection of sewing and quilting items. When we are traveling, I watch for quilt/fabric shops and they make nice break time stops.

From my LQS's, Joanns, estate and garage sales. I have not purchased fabric on-line yet, but have thought about it. I really would hate to see my LQS's go out of business!!

Thank you for sharing. I just looked at the site and will be going back soon for fabric.

For health reasons, it is difficult for me to go shopping & I would love to be able to shop online, but when I see that the cost of online fabric is more than my LQS, I just can't make myself pay it. Fortunatel;y my closest LQS (have been shopping there for close to 40 years) is so client friendly. I can call & ask if they have a certain fabric, tell them wht I want, & if I have a specific project in mind, I can tell them how much of co-ordinating fabrc (lgt/med/dk) I need & they will pick for me - my DD can go in, make the final decision, & pick it up for me. I also like her FQ policy. Her FQ's are cut from end of bolt, clearance, etc, & are always less than the per yd cost of the fabric. She also has a buyer appreciation card so after you purchase so much, you get a little something free or % off next purchase. She must be doing something right to have been in business for so long & the shop is always busy. Until I can match her service & prices online, I will continue to shop there. The next closest shop is about 20 miles away, but they have also been in business forever & are good to deal with & have excellent sales.

I like Green Fairy Quilts for pre-cuts. All their pre-cuts are on sale all the time and they carry only the well-known manufacturers. Shipping is reasonable and fast.

I also like Connecting Threads A LOT.

joann's (be selective), Hobby Lobby, Connecting threads, fabric.com, LQS, Wal-mart, thrift stores etc. It is all in when and where you find the quality

Hancock Fabrics.

A majority of my stash is from here (Quilt Board), the remainder from my local LQS and joann's (BF LOVES FQs and its up to me to use them - hence the stock pile of them!).

www.thousandsofbolts.com www.5bucksayard.com www.connectingthreads.com occasionally my LQS and Joann Fabrics

I buy fabric anywhere I can find it. I do buy online, and have been very happy with the prices and the quality. I buy at lqs's too, but lately it seems that the selection is getting stale. I love Hancock's of Paducah - their catalog is a feast for the eyes.

Usually Joann's, then Hancock, and if something strikes me and I can afford it my LQS.

I buy at my lqs, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, etc. But, my favorite place is an ebay store called Crowsnestquiltingfabrics.
The Red Roster fabrics are awesome and are about $4.50 a yard. I ordered on Friday and it was here yesterday (Tuesday) and Monday was a holiday. This was my third time purchasing from them. They combine shipping.

Same here as I have not had good luck with their fabric.

Just checked out Whittles, THANK YOU!

Joann's
Hancocks
Walmart

And when we take a road trip to Portland, I overspend at the Fabric Depot.
I avoid the LQS like the plague.
