I have been to quite a few fabric stores looking for "moda" material and in each one, I was told.."never heard of that before"..Other than ordering online where can I find that material?

carolaug 05-13-2011 01:25 AM

I was wondering the same. I have a LQS that sells it but I am looking for a good on line shop.

katier825 05-13-2011 01:25 AM

Do you have any nice quilt shops in your area? They should carry Moda. I can't believe the others never heard of it. It is also readily available online. Is there a reason you don't want to purchase it online? You can find some great prices if you shop around.

carolaug 05-13-2011 01:28 AM

Has anyone here bought from this place? If so would you recommend it? http://www.missouriquiltco.com/deal-a-day/

There are many good online shops. I think that Green Fairy Quilts sells only Moda (unless she's changed recently). Great service and reasonable. http://www.greenfairyquilts.com/

If you are looking for a particular line of Moda, do a search on Quiltshops website. http://www.quiltshops.com/

If you go to Advanced search and "show thumbnails" it's quick to find what you are looking for and check out the prices various shops have it for and what their shipping charges are. I've shopped many of the places with good luck.

When I try out a shop for the first time, I often will email a couple of questions to see how quickly they respond. Usually I hear back quickly, and am willing to order from them. If I don't hear back or it takes days, I don't usually do business there.

I've used Missouri Star Quilt Company and been happy. Got what I ordered in the correct amounts, as described and quickly.

dunster 05-13-2011 02:03 AM

hmmm... I would really wonder about a fabric shop owner who has never heard of Moda...

You can find local stores here that sell Moda if there are any in your area :)

That was my first thought exactly!

I would second the advice about www.quiltshops.com. All you would have to do is type the name of the moda collection you were looking for into the search bar and it will give you any number of online stores which carry that particular fabric.

Two of my favourites are Over the Rainbow and Dakota Cabin Quilts. Hancocks of Paducah carry many Moda lines as well.

Thank you all..I went and looked at the sites close to me, thank you so much for the link :-) ..I do not mind ordering online, its just that for some reason, I have this need to touch and feel fabric before I buy it..Guess, I am going to have to over come that feeling ;) .

I too prefer to touch the fabric, and you can't get the true look of it over the internet. With Moda though, you could always purchase an inexpensive charm packet first if you were thinking of making a large quilt out of that line. That way you will have the whole collection right there in front of you to touch and make your selections. Then while you are waiting for your fabric to arrive after ordering it, do something creative with your charm packet!

Here are a lot of Moda fabrics. Only heard positive reactions about the store ( a lot of Dutch quilters order here because the owner speaks and writes Dutch)

Thank you, I went and looked around and I love your fabrics..I bookmarked your place as well and plan on going back and looking around some more :thumbup:

ckcowl 05-13-2011 11:26 AM

if you sign up and participate (actually you do not have to participate) with the fabshophop.com you will find a list of more than 150 quilt shops----
many of them carry moda fabrics.
you can also go to the moda web site- there is a link to click to find retailers that carry their fabrics---another large list.

I haven't bought anything from them yet, but I have friends who do. You can sign up for their newsletter and Deal of the Day. And check out their YouTube tutorials.

It's a Stitch in Humble, Texas sells Moda and you can find them at http://www.itsastitchonline.com/. It is one of my LQSs and they give good service.

The nice thing about ordering known lines (Moda, RJR, etc.) is that the feel of the fabric is pretty much the same. I like to see the fabrics, as colors vary from computer to computer, though it is getting better.

Lakeview Quilting 05-13-2011 03:01 PM

I carry Moda Fabrics in my Etsy shop. Just click on link here.

ghostrider 05-13-2011 03:10 PM

Golly, I don't think I've ever been in a quilt shop that doesn't carry Moda fabrics. :shock: Never even considered that they'd be hard to find. Glad you were successful! :D

lindy-2 05-13-2011 03:27 PM

I would have thought that, too, but as it turns out, that isn't the case. Moda printed just a couple of their recent lines on 75x75 fabric instead of their customary 60x60. They thought they were doing their customers a favor by using a finer cloth. By the time I asked Moda's customer service department what was going on, they had already received enough feedback from quilters to tell them that they need to go back to the thicker 60x60 cloth.

The two future lines that are going to be printed on 75x75 are Dogwood Trail and Summer Breeze II. And of course you know that the Moda Marbles are printed on a different cloth (though I don't know what it is officially called). The rest of their lines are going to be on the highly favored 60x60.

Fabric Depot has Moda. They have good sales also.

Miss Priss 05-14-2011 04:34 AM

Yes I have ordered from them, and was very satisfied. They are quick to mail and if any questions you can call them.

GrandmaAva 05-14-2011 04:42 AM

Try Hancock's of Paducah. Their catalog is beautiful and they have tons of Moda fabrics. :-D

dotcomdtcm 05-14-2011 04:45 AM

shop online! They have a whole website!

Janet Espeleta 05-14-2011 05:18 AM

If you are only shopping at chain stores such as Hancocks, Hobby Lobby or Joanns the clerks are not as apt to be familiar with Moda. If you shop at a quilt store, I can't imagine any of them not carrying that line of fabric or at least being familiar with it!

I have and was a satisfied customer. Their tutorials are great also.

matraina 05-14-2011 05:41 AM

I love Missouri Star Quilt Company. They also have great tutorials. Last summer when I really started to get interested in quilting, I went to a shop hop. Almost all carried Moda. When I went to one who did not carry it, I asked why. She said because all the other shops do. I can't believe a quilt shop employee never heard of Moda.

passionpiecer 05-14-2011 06:39 AM

yes, me too!

Pat75 05-14-2011 07:36 AM

Hancocks of Paduka has moda on line.

Dolphyngyrl 05-14-2011 07:43 AM

I buy mostly online, my LQS carries some, but not a lot and usually not the series that I care for
I buy from fabric.com, oldcountrystore.com, fabricdepot.com, fatquartershop.com to name a few

go to www.quiltshops.com and look for shops in TX, OK, and KS....that is ALL they seem to carry around here as Moda(united notions) is in TX....sigh...I get so sick of seeing Moda everywhere!

you can go to the MODA site and see what lines are coming out and then do a search for those lines at quiltshops.com....and ebay, and etsy...

be warned though that MODA is now only dealing via Reps, no warehouse sales on fabric any more, due to the limited supply of quality greige goods. If shops do not order their fabric from a MODA rep, or if there are not enough orders for the FULL lines, they are not even going to print them! Some lines are also coming in quite a bit thinner this year!

maggierubymollyclancy 05-14-2011 08:31 AM

A quilt shop owner that hasn't heard of MODA? You have to be
kidding! I can't get over this. Has she heard of SANTA?
OMG!!!!!

I have purchased from there and always have had a great transaction, plus their website is great, lots of video tutorials.
Also have you tried www.fabric.com. Free Shipping on orders over 35.00 and lots of fabrics.
