Where do you buy your fabrics online? Also please post the links to the sites, thanks!

I started this thread as another member (Lynn Luker) posted this ? below

I have a question for those of you who shop on line. I have been afraid of it...I like to feel the fabrics and hold them up together to see what goes with what. I admit, I'm not very proficient in choosing fabric yet. But when I see pictures in some of the ads that come (Connecting Threads) And hear about the great prices, I am tempted. How do you choose? Should I buy several pieces from one line that are made to go together, start with a kit...or...? (sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question, I don't know how to start a topic!)If this needs to be moved somewhere else, please do so, or tell me how. You all have been so great to get ideas from, THANKS!

I buy on ebay sometimes but I usally have seen what I am looking for at a store and didn't have the money right then, or I have seen it in a book and hope to find it a bit cheaper. I would buy from Handcocks of Paducah online, I just haven't yet.

I too have been wondering about buying fabric online. I've never tried it either. Thanks for the thread!

please post the link to the website online, thanks

Your best bet is to go with a site that others have recommended and used. Connecting Threads is certainly talked about on this Board; I"ve never heard of a bad review. Personally, I love Keepsake Quilting (not the Keepsake fabric at Joann's - totally different!) and have ordered from them many times. Try using the Search feature at the top of this page to look for more sites.... try "shopping" or some such.

I shop at Fabric Depot on-line and at their store in Portland, OR. They have a huge selection and from what I can tell try to keep pricing reasonable. They offer 40% coupons each week through their monthly flyer. On-line is 35% off.
