dig_bitch asked:Where to buy wide backed fabric? I’m finishing up a top and I need some backing fabric. My local fabric shop doesn’t have wide backed fabric, so I’m looking online. Where do you recommend? I need fairly quick shipping. Thanks!

ChewyMagoo22 asked:Where are your favorite places to buy fabric? I am looking for cotton fabrics for some different projects. Where do you like to shop that won’t break your wallet? I am open to both online and in store. I don’t need more than 2 yards for any of the fabrics.
turaida replied:Connectingthreads.com has expensive fabrics, but occasionally when they're pushing new inventory in and old inventory out, styles that are older can go for anywhere from %75-%90 off. I got a really nice cherry blossom metallic print for like, $2.50 a yard during one of these sales, it was bananas

yurikayuyu asked:Where to buy cheap fabric I'm planning on opening a shop and I would like to know if you have any recommendation on where do other shops buy their good quality and cute patterned fabrics if on ebay, local stores, wish or on etsy itself. Which do you think is the most convenient maybe with good shipping fees as well (I'm in Perth, Australia) Thank you!
bippitybippityboop replied:I purchase a lot of my fabric from Joann's (tons of coupons), www.hawthornethreads.com (awesome sale section), www.fabric.com, www.spoonflower.com (you can have them print your own patterns, but they are on the pricey side@15.99/yd & 19.99/yd), www.connectingthreads.com, www.fabricworm.com I'll try to think of a few others for you.

Amy J. asked:Best on-line fabric store? I am trying to locate nautical fabric for an adult. Thank you, in advance, for any suggestions.Robin F. replied:Connectingthreads.comAlycia M. replied:As Tamara Von Essen suggested, Google search is good. I am gathering fabric for a nautical theme quilt for an adult and have purchased from several places. Etsy, Fat Quarter Shop is a good online store as is MSQC, Connecting Threads, and I've even found some on Amazon and eBay. Here is a search I did in Etsy. I've used them a lot. Just watch for quality lines. And they may not have all the fabric in a line, but you can find the names of ones you like and see if other pieces are available elsewhere. Or just choose pieces you love that aren't necessarily all in the same line. That is what I am doing....except I did get the Fat Quarter Bundle for Ahoy Me Hearties! But this search has literally hundreds of options and a lot from well-known designers and manufacturers. https://www.etsy.com/search?explicit=1&q=nautical+fabric&page=1

Sharon F. asked:I need some advice from you ladies. I made a quilt that is 108 wide by 115. My problem is I made this for my sister and I can’t afford the $160 for the backing. Do y’all have any recommendation for a cheaper white backing? I tried sheets but they don’t look right with the piecing. Looking for a cheaper but good fabric store.Lorraine T. replied:Thousandsofbolts.com and connectingthreads.comLiz B. replied:Connecting threads or I buy 108" from quilters classified for 8 a yard.

Cynthia F. asked:Where do all the Canada ladies get their fabric. Living in my small town up north we only have one local store and prices are steepTammy M. replied:I like connecting threads. The fabric s nice at great prices, and if you check the sale section you can get fabric lower than $4 a yard. They don't charge shipping, have great sales...but remember that the US is at 30% exchange so I have not ordered for a while. The batting is MUCH cheaper too. Check them out www.connectingthreads.com. I'm in Northern Ontario...all we have is fabric land here and they are not worth it.

Shirley B. asked:What type of thread do most of you use I use cotton, does anyone use polyester? Where is a good place to purchase?Sandi F. replied:I love www.connectingthreads.com.Trudy B. replied:Connecting Threads is cheap but linty. I use Masterpiece or Aurifil for piecing but don't do much of my own quilting. Was told by Becky Goldsmith (Piece O Cake designs) to match the thread to the fabric so if you're quilting with 100% cotton, use 100% cotton thread. I do use Bottom Line for hand appliqué, though.........Darlene B. replied:Sulky, coats and clarks, connecting threads cotton. I just ordered 30 spools from connecting threads. I've never had a problem with sewing or quilting with it.
