I buy most of my fabric online during big sales. I only shop JoAnn's when I can't get out of it. I buy very little fabric from there, but my LQS doesn't sell notions or threads. I love going to my LQS & can rarely get out of there with under $60.00 of fabric, but I get newsletters from many online shops with gorgeous fabrics who have good sales & I sometimes just buy remnants that are priced cheaply. The fabrics I've gotten from these shops have been amazing & I love working with them. Sales of 30% off & more are the best sales. I have a fairly good stash, so I don't have to buy a lot of fabric at a time unless I have to make a King sized quilt or something with special colors. I also shop Thrift Shops & GoodWill. It's amazing what you can find there! I quilt daily & am on a strict budget so I do what I can to keep my costs down. Happy quilting!!
