marshall dry good on line store
 
How is the quality of fabric from Marshall Dry goods on line store ? Especially 108 backing -$8.99/yd. That is a great price!
I am not really picky about my backing.

Some of their fabrics are great, some quite stiff, however. I usually just buy name brand fabrics from them. If you are interested in a certain fabric from one of their lines, I would order a small amount to check.

I have ordered from their wholesale for my sister's daycare. I don't think its high end fabric, but it was great for what we used it for. It was not the wide fabric so I don't know about that

I go to Marshall's Dry Goods a lot. I think it is the only fabric distributor that lets the general public in their warehouse to buy wholesale. They sell every brand and type of fabric but Moda and the quality batiks. I buy Robert Kauffman, Timeless Treasures, South Sea Imports, Riley Blake, Northcroftt, Michael Miller, Red Rooster, Bernatex , even some Connecting Threads, and other brands that are in the quilt shops. They also sell craft fabric so you have to know what the brand is you are buying. The MDG brand is the store brand, printed to their specifications. It does not have the vivid color or prints and has a lot of sizing but the fabric itself is fine. You need to go to the wholesale site to find the quilt shop quality fabric. You can buy the fabric by the bolt on the wholesale site through a rep, same as the quilt shops do. I've been there when quilt shop owners pull up in vans to buy and I see what they pay for a bolt of Robert Kauffman. Most are from surrounding states. The brand new fabric is kept in the back for wholesale customers to have first choice. Stock is moved to the retail side as more new fabric comes in. The fabric comes in on the truck in big rolls. Marshall's then wraps the fabric into bolts of fabric. Seals it in plastic and puts on the shelf. If you call and ask to be put on Sharon's wholesale email list you get to see the new fabric pictures as it comes in.

I was taught when I first started quilting is to buy the best you can afford (from Harriet Hargrave).

.....And it doesn't hurt to "shop around" for that " best" - like onebyone...........

I've had really good luck with fabrics from them.

Have been a customer for a long time, can't remember having any problems. Have friends who have used the wide backing and they are happy with the fabric.

I have recently bought their 108" backing. the overtone prints. It is a nice quality and I will buy from them again.

I have a friend who makes T-shirt quilts for people and she buys all her backing fabric from Marshall Dry Goods. She has been very pleased with their extra wide fabric.

OMG! I called Marshall's and asked about a fabric from Andover I was looking for. I was transferred to a rep and I was asked to send a picture of the fabric. I found a picture on line and sent that and the rep said yes there were a few bolts of it. Long story short, I got a 15 yard bold for $1.75 a yard! Even with shipping the whole bolt was cheaper then buying the yardage from any online shop I found it at! I'm planning a trip there very soon to stock up on solids and neutrals.

I love Marshall's! You can buy blenders very comparable to Moda for $2.99 a yard. They have a huge variety of 108" wide fabrics, solids, blenders, tie-dyed, 120" muslin and their Warm and Natural is a very good buy as well. It is well worth the day trip for me and my friends to go. I love their $1 tables.

I'd like to know what they pay for a bolt of Robert Kauffman...

I love Marshall's!

I will have to Marshall's a try... I was lucky enough to hit a Connecting Threads sale last month and purchased two 3 yard cuts of 108" backing fabrics and they came out to be less than $10 yd.

I paid for Robert Kauffman new arrival fabric $3.75 per yard for 15 yard bolt. Quilt shops may pay less the more they buy. I sent you a pm.

I have bought their backing and it compares with the 15,99 yd from JoAnns. You also have a better selection.

quiltlady1941 04-16-2016 08:14 AM

Do you have to buy a bolt of fabric or can you buy by the yard? looks like they have great prices.. thanks

Onebyone 04-16-2016 08:31 AM

You buy the yard in the retail side. You buy the bolt from a rep. Two different check outs.

Info on Marshalls Dry Goods purchases
 
Ok Ladies. I finally went to the Marshall's website and I almost fainted at their prices!! Can I buy retail? Is the price the same? Must I have a resale number to get the shown pricing? They had several 102 yard bundles for $255.00 NOW DON'T FAIN that was 17 fabrics with 6 yds each. That's $2.50 a yard.

fish92241 04-16-2016 11:03 AM

I like Connecting Threads, especially for wide backing.

Call the number and ask for a rep. On the retail site any fabric there can be bought on the bolt at the wholesale price. Retail prices are for yardage and still it's a great price when you don't want a whole bolt. The blender flat folds are a stash dream and sold wholesale. I have never been asked for a tax number or anything.

I recently made a beautiful tote bag with their fabrics and it was very nice. It was not a name brand but their own and I am pleased with it. Can't attach a picture because I'm on an I pad and it won't support it.
