Chinatown has a few shops that sell silks from China. If you want a variety of fabrics, not just cottons, go to the garment district. Basically, there are tons of fabric stores, street level and in upper building floors. the area is between 8th ave and 7th ave and 41st St and 36th st. My two fav blocks are 40th and 39th between 8 and 7th. there are also great button/bead/embellishment stores on 6th ave between 40th and 36th. My favorites are M&J Trimming, Toho Shoji, and NY Bead.
City Quilter is on 25th between 7th and 6th. There is another store in Soho, can't remember the name...
