I've always been satisfied with my purchases online - it is too costly to drive 85 miles to the closest "GOOD" fabric shop - so if I'd get a piece of fabric not up to my liking - it is a small price to pay: but overall I've been satisfied;
I do notice if I use my DH computer, the colors are much more vivid -and better visual of the fabric; I'm thinking maybe he has HD on his monitor????? But, just the other day I was shopping online and came onto some cute children's fabric so put in a big order - I received it yesterday already and wow! It was gorgeous as it had been on the monitor - was very pleased, and if you can say that in bright sunlight - I think I can attribute it to his monitor!
