I have bought a lot of fabric on ebay from Uptown Fabric. Their quilt fabric is limited (about 80 fabrtics) they also have polished cotton and every other kind of fabric you could want. I have never been disappointed in thw quality and best of all they offer free shipping. I usually get my fabric in 2 to 3 days.

wow, that 5bucksayard.com has some really great fabrics for great prices. I always check Kona Bay fabrics/prices first and they are only $5yd! What a deal!
Connecting Threads has quality fabric for $5.96 all the time, and close-out specials as low as $2.96 which are great for quilt backs. thanks for sharing these links warm quilt hugs, sue in CA |
This is great! I have made a list of the places to buy good fabric for less. I am so glad I found this web site, I have learned a lot, and I am not a new quilter. Thanks everyone.

step 2 is to go to fabshophop.com even when there isn't an active hop going, you may find the list of shops that participated in the most recent online hop. step 3 is to visit each and every one of those online shops. when you search diligently you can and will find namebrand fabrics for as little as $2 per yard. (more often, though, between $3 and $4 per yard.) don't be sucked in by the claims of "always 25% below retail", or other claims along those lines. the "retail" they refer to is usually in the neighborhood of $10 per yard. they are NOT offering you a deal. they are hoping you can't do basic math. :lol: make a note of which have regular or clearance prices that are within your limit. you can build a list of favorite shops within your fabshophop member area. (as a backup, start a notebook. guess who has lost her list of favorite shops more than once because a computer got a case of the hiccups. :shock: ) when it's time to spend the $$$, start with your list. over time it will grow and your will save piles of money. i'm off now to comfort my pennies. i've pinched them so hard and so often lately the poor things are bruised and boohooing. :lol: |
