Online shops
 

I was looking online at different sites. Where do you all shop online? I do have some local shops but at times I will do online shopping.

I do not shop much online but do like the fabrics I have bought from Hancock's .

There are so many good places! A lot depends on what you like, what size, all sorts of things.

I am trying to not buy fabrics and have joined the Fabric Moratorium. Sometimes though I still need things and my first place is
https://www.equilter.com/
Been using them for years, always very good service. My local shops typically don't carry the Kona Solids I want, so I get them there. I like and recommend their scrap packs for stash building.

When I am looking for fabric, I am often looking for some very specific things and so my next stop is Amazon. Long story but I had my Ebay user identity stolen and really try not to go there.

Several of my Amazon deals led me to this local chain in Michigan -- right from where my Hubby is from!
https://fieldsfabrics.com/
Seems to be the sort of great all around local fabric store that has completely gone out of business in my area.

I've shopped at many, but my favorite is QuiltInADay https://www.quiltinaday.com/. They have some amazing deals, especially in their clearance. They give an inch extra most of the time for shrinkage. And they TEAR the fabric, so it always comes on grain, meaning that you don't lose anything straightening the grain. And their shipping is reasonably fast.

I've always liked Whittle Fabrics https://www.whittlesfabrics.com/ for customer service, although most of their fabric isn't my taste, so I don't order from them as much as I would like.

I also have bought from Thousands of Bolts https://www.thousandsofbolts.com from time to time. They are quick to ship and have a huge selection at decent prices.

I forgot to mention I've ordered from Fabric Shack too (https://www.fabricshack.com/) although I haven't done so in many years. They have good quality and some pretty excellent sales.

Iceblossom is right, there are so many good online shops but it often depends on what you are looking for.

In addition to what she posted I also like Thousands of Bolts, Quilts n Gifts, Over the Rainbow, Stitch n Time to name a few.

That being said, I try to support my LQS before searching online.

I’ve been shopping with fabric.com for 19+ years. There are other shops I do shop with on occasion but if I cannot get what I need locally fabric.com is my first place to look. I’ve also been participating in the fabshophop for years so have had the opportunity to browse and shop with many shops all across the country. There are some great shops out there who have an on line presence. There have been a few I found doing the hop that I’ve been able to visit when traveling too.

I used to love Fabric.com for their grab bags. I got many pieces I'd have never otherwise bought but that broadened my horizons. Sadly, they don't sell them anymore.

Fabric.com is now owned by Amazon.

My favorite online shop is Fat Quarter Shop. There prices are the same as fabric.com, Msqc, etc. , they always are among the first to have new fabrics, they do great bom’s and sew along kits and are very generous in those in case of cutting errors etc., and they have fast shipping. They also fold and package fabric nicely. I ordered several cuts of a fabric line from fabric.com and it arrived all haphazard and wrinkled. From FQS it arrives nicely folded and in a ziplock bag.

My parents are from Midland Michigan and I have several relatives still in the general area. I guess my next road trip may have to incorporate Field Fabrics. LOL

My favorites:

Fat Quarter Shop
Missouri Star Quilt Company
Etsy- there is a seller called HunnieQuilt who has great prices and awesome service. I buy from her a lot. But there are other sellers there too, she's my favorite.
Shabby Fabrics- they also have nice tutorials on Youtube,
Green Fairy Quilts

I love to check out quilt shops when I'm out of town but don't buy much locally.

Fabric.com and fatQuarterShop.com and thousands of bolts.com are my 3 go-to shops.

I have ordered fabrics I like from Thousandsofbolts.com, QuiltedTwins.com, Fabrics.com, and ThreadBearFabrics.com.
I have been pleased with the fabric quality and delivery timeliness from all of these shops.

Connecting Threads
Thousands of Bolts
Hancock
Fat Quarter Shop

I've only just begun my quilting journey and I buy locally whenever I can, but if I'm shopping online I start with Fabric.com. I've purchased a few quilting fabrics from them and I've been very happy with the price and quality. Also they have some items I haven't found locally so that's neat. The other point for me is that their shipping rates are really good to Canada, and they ship to Canada exclusively by UPS (don't know if that's true within the US). My daughter placed an order on Sunday and it was delivered to our house yesterday. That's 4 days, and through customs too. I think the affiliation with Amazon contributes to this.

Hawthornethreads.com is one of my favorites that has not been mentioned yet. They always have a really nice sale section and very reasonable shipping.

I have only bought fabric on line once and that was from Jordan Fabrics. Great quality. However, more importantly, Jordan Fabrics has great tutorial videos and lots of free patterns. You might want to go to their website just to see what they have to offer.

Wherever I find what I want. I’ve ordered from big online quilting places and local small quilt stores all over the country. Never had a bit of trouble.

connectingthreads. com and missouristarquilts. com and keepsakequilting. com

I'd add eQuilter; Quilt Fabric Closeout; Fabric Fanatics (all batiks); Keepsake Quilting, Marshalls, Lil Red Hen in Paola, KS; Missouri Star Quilt Co.;Quilted Paradise (Baldwin, KS);

I like shopping at http://quiltsofnauvoo.com/
https://marshalldrygoods.com/
https://www.quiltedtwins.com/
https://www.pineapplefabrics.com/
https://melindasfabricshop.com/
There is also this place http://aaaquilterssupply.com/

I have done catalog and online shopping with Keepsake Quilting, Hancock's of Paducah, Nancy's Notions, Jordan Fabrics, eQuilter and Connecting Threads for many, many years and always been happy with their products. In the last year I have discovered both fantastictreasures4u, and Claudia's Sewing House on eBay and have bought a lot from them with no problems. They both have wonderful service, fast delivery and great prices on quality fabric. Lastly, on Etsy is Jambearies that is great to work with and Crafty Hollow Quilts which sell by the 1/2yd. and are going out of business so all their beautiful fabric is 50% off. As you can tell, I haven't joined the fabric moratorium, but I have bought a lot of beautiful usable fabric to replace the hundreds of yards that I donated or sold 2 years ago.

I go online when I'm looking for something specific that my local shop doesn't have, so I start with etsy. I usually find what I need there.

I do almost zero online shopping - for fabric or otherwise. I have ordered from fabric.com when I needed something particular and was extremely pleased. I will also recommend http://theoldcountrystore.com. I normally go to their brick and mortar store in Lancaster, PA. They have excellent quality fabrics and very reasonable prices.

Like novelties? Licensed? The Fabric Cobbler has a great selection. Backings? Ma’s Got A Notion

___________________________
I want to cast a vote for Field's Fabrics in Michigan. I am so fortunate to have one of their shops about 10 minutes from home, so I never order online. They are a family owned business that has been around for years and years. Although with 7 sites they qualify as a "chain", each store has the feel of a local quilt shop. Employees know their "stuff" from making garments to home decorating to of course quilting. They will help you measure, double check your calculations and are full of ideas. But bottom line is the quality of their fabric is very good to excellent. Don't be afraid to order from them! I have shopped in three of their stores and never been disappointed.

Green Fairy is a good site for fabric precuts at great prices.

I do most of my fabric shopping on line now. Our closest LQS closed a long time ago. I usually shop fabric.com. I recently added 5 bucks a yard. I will also shop Hancock from time to time.
I too have been doing my best with the fabric moratorium. I have had to buy some fabrics for backing and of all things ran out of WOW!
I also bought fabric one time at JAF when I got it for a penny a yard on sale. I couldn't pass that up.

I have always been happy when I shopped online but I don’t often do that. I have used Hancock’s of Paducah, fabric.com, fat quarter shop with great success.

I want all these shops, both on line and local, to be there when...and if I actually do need fabric. So I spend a lot of my kids inheritance and yes, I have a lot of fabric. My favorites are Quilted Twins, Craft Town in Indiana, and one very obscure place in New England with an Ebay address: franks11. You can't order a specific fabric, but rather yardage and bundles of a theme, or at least that's what I did. I'm just terrible at picking out neutrals for Bonnie Hunter's mysteries. So I just told franks11 to pick out for me 100 yards in 5 yard pieces. I'm still working out of that shipment. I was most pleased, and I got a great deal.

I shop mostly online.

I shop online where ever there is a sale on the fabric brands I like. Same fabric, doesn't matter what store. I type quilting fabric sale in search and go from there. I have found some terrific deals from online shops I had never seen before.

I haven't done too much online shopping for quilt supplies, but the sites I like the most are Hancock's of Padducah, Missouri Star and AQS. I really generally prefer LQS's, for one, thing you can see and touch the fabric. Also, you can have the exact amount you want/need cut: 1/3 yard, 1 1/8 yards, etc.

If you want many fabrics from a line, Sewmanyquiltsinbend can be very helpful. They ship fast, too.

Thank you everyone for some ideas for online shopping.

I was so upset the other day (still am, really) when I stopped into my favorite on-line shop, Fat Quarter Shop, and saw the changes they had made. No more scroll over magnification for individual fabrics, no more shop by color, inconvenient adding to wish list, lose browser position when back-paging. I don't know why they had to 'improve' the website, it was sheer perfection before.
