Quality Fabric
 
Just received my first order from Marshall Drygoods. Snuggle flannel. I was pleasantly surprised because I paid far less per yard than the usual chain near me, and the quality, the feel (even after washing it) is wonderful. I will be buying all my backing fabric there from now on... it is even worth paying the shipping. And surprising to me, the color ended up being a Perfect match for my quilt!

Yay for your success with your order. It's nice when the fabric is exactly as expected. I've had good luck ordering on-line with different vendors so far. One of my orders was almost $5.00 per yard less than the local shops so even shipping charges weren't a concern.

Rhonda K, where do you order for $5.00 less per yard. I want in on some of that action too.

I love Marshall's. I have lots of their blenders and backings. I buy my rolls of batting from them wholesale, and also the big cones of tex 40 thread (1200 yards).

I have ordered fabrics from Marshall's before and very pleased with the products. Great customer service too.

How can someone that has been quilting for 20 years and never having heard of Marshall Dry Goods. Oh my, I really do need to get out more often :o. Thanks for showing me my next place to by 108" backing.

I have purchased quite a bit of fabric from Marshall’s. I’ve been very pleased with all I’ve gotten. I bought the bundles of 108” backs, and the batik bundles, plus white on whites ($3.99 a yd) really a keeper for the money

The fabrics were almost $5.00 LESS per yard. Local shop was 12.99 and I purchased the same fabric for about $8 something per yard.

I shop Marshall's because it's about 2 hours from me. The best kept secret of the whole place is Quilter's Dream Cotton. I buy it by the bolt. I can't tell any difference from Moda Bella. It also comes in wide backing but only in muslin color for that. I buy the name brand fabric there like Hoffman Batkiks, Robert Kauffman, Riley Blake, Timeless Treasures, Bernatex, etc. MDG's brand seems a little stiff to me but very good. Going to the warehouse I can see all they have so it's worth it to me to buy the name brands for no more then $5 yard or less. The warehouse has several aisles of notions too.

You don't have to have a tax ID to buy wholesale there but you do have to buy the whole bolt and buy from a rep. To buy yardage, it's cut to measure on the retail side. Yardage costs more then the whole bolt. To pay the employees who work in the retail side I imagine. Go to the wholesale site and sign up for the emails. You will get pictures of all the new fabrics .

Whittles.com Is a fabulous online shop. Thousands of bolts is another.
