I LIKE IT ALL. BrendaK

Andover/Makower, Northcott and Michael Miller are the three I drool over the most. Northcott for their glorious silky cotton and the prints and colors of Makower and Michael Miller can make me spend money even when I don't need the material. Wilmington also is high on my list. I guess it would be easier to list who I don't care for, the list would be very short.

I am more particular about the tread that I use than the fabric. There are a lot of wonderful fabrics and designers but using the right thread can make your sewing experience happy and enjoyable or frustrating to the max! I teach needle turn applique and have found the masterpiece thread to be incredible no knotting or fraying just enjoyable hand sewing. The frosting collections allow you to have an incredible assortment of colors without a heavy duty investment and can be kept in a lipstick holder for convenient use. Love, love your thread and the education that you give.

I buy what I need and what I like..I collect "Michael Miller" if that makes sense..lol..it's become a joke in my quilting group!!

I love Michael Miller jet black. Other than that I will buy whatever brand has the color/print of good quality that fits my pattern and works with the other colors/prints.

Bali batiks (Hoffman), Moda, Michael Miller, then whatever strikes my fancy.

I love most of them Hoffman, Kona Bay, Kaufman on and on but if I really had to choose, I would pick Freedom Fabric from England. I just love it and it is very hard to find. I have found one site that carries it,
www.quiltkitsonline.com. Actually you can just Google quilt kits online. You can go into the Freedom Fabric site but can't buy directly from them. Hopefully, enough interested can be generated by this site to get more on line fabric stores to carry it.

I love the feel of South Sea Imports fabic and think their colors just brilliant, but I'm basicaly a fabric junkie...love it all : )

ditto

Depends on the pattern and the color---no dreary fabric for me!

There are so many really good companies, so I go by first, look and then feel.

depends upon what I am looking for at the time - what strikes my fancy I did seem to be drawn recently to Michael Miller and Robert K aufman but it was probably just the project I was working on. . .

I love anything bright and happy. one of my favorites is me and my sister

I love both Moda and Kauffman fabrics but I certainly don't look for those before choosing for a quilt. I'm drawn to color and feel of fabrics.

I buy 99% of my fabric from connecting threads because I like the quality and the price is great. I pick the colors after I pick the pattern. Then they are ALL with no exception pieced and quilted with Superior Threads because you guys and your thread are AWSOME!! Your service is Superior also.

When I'm ordering online I like to stick to brands that I can depend on (since I can't feel the fabric). I like Moda and Robert Kaufman (Dr Seuss cotton is so, well, silky soft!).

I like the Moda Marbles for blenders as there are so many different colors to choose from... But don't buy one particular line, buy what I like and quality has to be there, not necessarily quilt shop fabric,, I buy from Hobby Lobby a lot and some from our Joann's which has been going through a rough time trying to get organized so the choices aren't that great...

I don't have a favorite brand. I love colors and rarely do I buy a pattern first. I look for my colors first and what person or what occassion I am making it for before I decide on a pattern.

I don't look a the name of the manufacturer; I look at the design and color. I usually have a design and colors planned and look for fabrics that fit it - or I have a fabric that I want other fabrics to blend with.

My blenders are Fairy Frost and mini, tone on tone dots. For the rest, I buy what I like not a particular brand or designer (I think it would be fair to say I like most of them), though I have a lot of Laurel Burch.

I am on a fabric diet right now -- need to use my stash.

I don't believe in being faithful to a brand or line of fabric. It's too easy for the makers to hold us up for more money per yard. I mainly look at cotton or cotton/polyester fabric that's on sale. If something draws me and my standard question [which I ask for anything I purchase] after a fifty percent mark up on goods did the workers get paid enough and the answer is yes, I'll buy it. When I am working on a project The fabric is then guaged against the intended user. It can get complicated.

I love all the name brands and on sale even better.

I usually buy based on colors and prints, but I tend to buy Moda more than any other company and I adore most prints by Sandy Gervais. Robert Kaufman comes in a close second, though.

Same with me - I "love the hunt" for appealing fabrics from many designers and fabric houses, but Moda is always consistently "ON" for me.

I don't think I have a favorite fabric line/brand, I just buy what strikes my fancy and for the project I have in mind. I do love batiks, but not any particular line.

I don't look at the brand just color,feel and pattern.

I like a lot of the Robert Kaufmen, Mackower, and the Wilmington line. I have no real favorites, but these are the ones I find myself admiring the most.

Just found out that favoritefabrics.com is carrying one of my favorites---Freedom Fabrics. They are gorgeous. Not that I buy that line exclusively. I bet I have some of every brand. Really love batiks and Asian.

I don't have a favorite line of fabric, I usually just go with what I like, some fabrics I won't use because they are too thin. I love the feel of Northcott Fabrics, but don't see as much of their fabric anymore, which is a shame cause it's beautiful fabric.

I do the same thing. I pick what I like to use not by manufacturer.

Same for me...also loving the Amy Butler designs lately!!

I go by color and depending on what I'm making the quality of the fabric. Sue
