Well when you find out how to resist - let me know. I am trying to stop buying fabric but that line is way cute, what is it?

I don't look.

I'm not terribly tempted by fabric on line. I like to buy in person so I can touch the fabrics and see true colors. I could spend hours browsing from shop to shop.

I have no suggestions about self control when it comes to fabric. But I sure love the ones you've posted.

Unfortunately, Connecting Threads has a sale right now for 40% off lots of basic fabrics. Geez, how does a quilter resist? I keep thinking 3-4 projects ahead, trying to find the most bang for my buck.

I have little self-control when it comes to fabrics! I had to un-subscribe from many of my favorite places to reduce the temptation. LOL I have been trying to use more of my stash and limiting my purchases to batting, thread and only get what fabric I need to finish off a project, such as border fabric. I've reduced my purchases quite a bit, but definitely not down to zero...I don't think I could do that! :D

I put all the stuff i like in the shopping cart but rarely pull the trigger! Just the fun of looking and putting it in the cart seems to be enough...plus when i see the total, it helps to keep me fom hitting that order button!

I browse the fabrics online, but I don't buy anything online.

My method also!

When the balance due get's to a certain figure on the card I use for online purchases, no matter how much I might want the item, it's a no-sale. So that kinda makes me be really sure I want it.
