Inexpensive cotton quilting fabric?

I'd like to know the answer to that too! Although compared to European
prices, every single piece of fabric in the USA is a great price.
I go to flea markets and often find bargains. But there seems to be a
Murphy-ish sort of rule: Any fabric you really want to complete a quilt will
not be on sale at the moment you need it most.

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!

The coupon on the last couple of flyers I received was only for 40% off.
That is still a pretty good discount.

Thanks, Debbie. I live in Minnesota, but L.A., CA is my second home
(my Mom lives there).

issues
coupons (some are only for on-line orders, though).

Hi Tess:

$4.00 for a fq and $10.00 a yard on E-Bay is way too much. Keep
watching. I frequently fet fat quarters for $1.25-1.50 and never pay
more than $6.00 a yard for fabric. The problem with E-bay and on-line
fabric stores is that you have to factor shipping into the per-yard
rate you are paying.

I also shop at on-line stores. Some of my favorites that have very
good prices and customer service a

those are all good choices, as is

craftconn.com

which allows you to order cuts as you like, and tells you how much of each
fabric they have in stock, as you throw it in your cart!

There is a nice quilt shop in Cannon Falls called Quilts by the Falls
and one in Oakdale called The Quilted Shingle. They are not places you
go for inexpensive fabric, but both are reasonably close to Hastings.

equilter.com has good stuff. I've bought lots from them. I also like
borntoquilt.com

www.quiltshops.com is an umbrella over about 125 shops. Some are kind
of expensive but a lot are fairly reasonable. I've been satisfied with
the one's I've dealt with . You could type EQ5 into the search and it
will give you links to all shops that have it. Quilt Blessings is where
I got mine. They had a sale last fall. They might be worth keeping an
eye on.
