Your FAVORITE on-line fabric shops?

[goodyear94]

I'm new at this and was wondering if you have a FAVORITE on-line site besides my current FAVORITE one - MSQ, of course!

Also, what is your opinion regarding the quality of fabrics sold at Connecting Threads.com?

Thank you for any help!!

Hugs,

I have bought fabric from Connecting Threads and have had no problems with it. My favorite on-line store is whichever one is having a sale. This week my favorite is: http://www.honeyforkfabrics.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi

Connecting Threads is having a wonderful thread sale too: http://www.connectingthreads.com/thr...Thread--600902

I have used fabric.com quite a bit. I live 55 miles from the closest brick and mortar store, so I do quite a bit on line. I have never used connectingthreads.com, although many do like it, and I might just try it sometime, too. Of course, I order from MSQC, too.

I haven't ordered from fabric.com yet....need to go back to their site and look around again.

I really like fabric.com because they have a huge inventory and their website is easy to navigate, and the fabrics are well displayed so you can see what you are ordering. Their prices are good, they sell all major manufacturers, not off-brand cheap stuff. They have sales, and they ship fast. I ordered on Sunday, and got my fabric Thursday. I go to them when I want a major manufacturer that MSQC doesn't carry. They also carry licensed fabrics, which I use for kids quilts, and MSQC doesn't carry those. I found a collection on that website of fabric that I had originally found in fat quarters at Tuesday Morning, fabric.com had the coordinates!

My friend who is a theatre manager orders from them all the time, because they carry large quantities of fabrics. When you are costuming or dressing a stage, you need bigger quantities than when you are making quilts or garments, and they have it all in one piece! They even list their inventories for each item on the website.

I am not sure if I've purchased fabrics from Connecting Threads, I just got a paper catalog from them today in the mail, but haven't had a chance to look it over. I've purchased my basic threads for my quilting machine from them.

I order from Connecting Threads for several reasons. Quality, selection and speed. They're pretty close to me so even ground shipping is fast. Nice thread too! I also get good customer service. My second choice that comes to mind is Keepsake Quilting. Pricey, but they do have some pretty fabric collections.

Shirley, when I saw this post I totally knew your response would be first! If I wasn't at work today, I'da beat ya!

I buy most of my precuts from M*, but I also buy from Hancocks-Paducah, QuiltersCastle, Fat Quarter Shop etc, etc. I buy thread and batting from Connecting Threads when they are on sale. I have purchased some nice fabric from them and some that's not so nice. They give very good customer service. Barb

LOL - I was at work but had my work done and was passing the last 1/2 hour with this forum and looking for bargains.

fabric.com, connecting threads, sometimes fabricdepot.com

I buy my precuts from MSQC all the time.

I am currently using some fabric I bought from Connecting Thread. I've been happy with it so far.
