Inexpensive cotton quilting fabric?
Well, I just happened upon this site (thanks to my husband) and asked
a question about a quilting program (looks like I will be buying the EQ5!) The responses have been quite helpful, so I decided to ask all of you where I can get good fabric at a great price? I look on Ebay and see that I can get a FQ for $4.00, or fabric for $10.00/yd. I know that I can go to JoAnn Fabric and get a FQ for $1.29, and fabric for about $3.99/yd, but I don't always have the time with two children and their choices in fabric leave a lot to be desired. I would appreciate any suggestions of places online to buy fabric. Thanks so much! Tess in Hastings, Minnesota |

Good fabric, great price. That would call for you to check out
www.fabric.com. Not a huge selection, and their fabric is not always wonderful (although they very sweetly will take it back and refund). Right now they're having a Valentine special and will send you the whole place for about $5 shipping (in the US) regardless of how much you order. And a word of warning. They do lots of things to keep their prices down. One time they shipped my fabric in a box obviously printed for a defunct sausage company. It was printed: Sausage, perishable. Refrigerate Immediately. Always helpful, my sweetheart quickly put my box in the deep freeze. Gotta love 'em. Polly wrote in message ...

Hey Polly,
is that how you hide all that stash you keep buying? Hey Tess, joanns aslo has a lot of cheap (omg you can see right thru it) thin fabric, not always the best to use. the quality can make a big difference in the finished quilt. not all their fabrics are like that though. if you know how to tell them apart you'll be ok. iirc they also charge more for the better quality, as would be expected. sorry those sentences are out of logical order, brain is real hot and tired after two full days on the road throwing flowers at people. early night tonight for this little star***** jeanne -- http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar real reply is san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz Polly Esther" wrote...

I love cottonboutique.com She has fantastic fabric at 6.75 yard. Not as
cheap as JoAnn's, but top quality. She and her husband are fantastic people to work with. She just had a baby who she brought to guild on Thursday night! They do not have a brick and motar store. The closed it when she got pregnant. They only deal with through the internet (they have been doing this for years, only had the store for a little over 2 years) http://cottonboutique.com/ Debbi in SO CA wrote in message ...

Unless you live in CA. Our snail mail flyer only contains a 40% off coupon
Debbi in So CA "Nurse Ratched" wrote in message ... Get on JoAnn's mailing lists. The snail mail flyer (once every couple of weeks) contains a coupon for 50% off one item. The e-mailing list also issues coupons (some are only for on-line orders, though). Nurse Ratched (remove "cuckoo" from address to reply) If I ever need religion, I'll worship chocolate cake. |
