Best place to buy fabric online?
#11
LOL I'd say every where you like the fabric and they take your credit card. some places I like are https://www.whittlesfabrics.com/ and etsy. Oh yeah definitely http://www.greenfairyquilts.com/ eventhough right now they have no fabric I like. I have also purchased fabric from http://www.connectingthreads.com/?gc...xoCvFkQAvD_BwE but have not been happy about how the fabric preformed. I liked it for kids quilts and stuffed animals but found it would shred at the seam when it was used by children.

I love civil war fabrics and my favorite is: http://www.heirloomquiltingcompany.com/
heirloom quilting in new Jersey. I found them by being a part of the fab shop hop looking for the bunny.

I rarely buy for a specific project. Usually when I shop on line I am stash building and taking advantage of sales or free shipping. I like Hancocks of Paducah http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/ a lot but their shipping can be sporadic as well as having things in stock. I like Thousands of bolts, but you can only order full yard increments there. Fabric.com is good but you need to be sure you are ordering quilting cotton as they carry so many different fabrics. There are so many wonderful on line sources.

I have only bought quilting fabric from:
MSQC

Craftsy
I have bought fashion fabric from Fabric.com too.
I am in Canada and have to consider exchange rates, shipping (cost and method) and duty. I stopped buying from fabric.com when they would not send my package via USPS and would send it via UPS. UPS charges Canadian outrageous brokerage fees and I will not shop with any company that only uses them.
Craftsy shows me the price in Canadian dollars and CT does the brokerage, so I do not have to worry about duty.
It has been a while since I ordered from MSQC, but I was happy with the products, service and shipping when I did buy.

I have shopped online quite a bit and overall have been very happy with my purchases. I have a PO Box in Michigan where I work and had my purchases sent there with absolutely no problems.
I have shopped at Hancock's of Paducah

Green Fairy
equilter.com
fabric.com
bugfabric.com
and many individual quilt shops that I found through quiltshops.com when I was looking for something specific.
Sometimes, I have called their customer service to double check that they have what I am looking for and in the amount of yardage that I require. All have been very helpful. I have even sent quilty gifts and fabrics to friends across the US for special occasions and birthdays - some have offered to gift wrap and include a note or card.
The only really slow shipping I have encountered was this past Sept with Jelly Roll Fabrics - it took almost 4 weeks (actually 26 days) to arrive in Michigan from Indiana which is only 4 hours away. I sent 2 emails and also called and felt they were giving me the brush off with the standard line of "takes 10 business days" - was very disappointing -
At the time I actually placed an order the same day, a Friday, with Bug Fabric which is located in Redmund, Washington on the west coast and that order arrived in 4 days on the following Monday! Bug Fabric was very fast and sent a friendly follow-up note - they were terrific to deal with!
