Fabric I don’t always think I got the best, local options for buying fabric - limited shops as well as selection.
Therefore, I want to ask if you could recommend me a good online place to buy them. I am currently not looking for anything specific, just curious about which options you can recommend and their selection.
Thanks in advance.

i like [fatquartershop.com](https://fatquartershop.com) and [fabric.com](https://fabric.com) :D FQS has a lot of good precuts and kits. [fabric.com](https://fabric.com) has good prices and HUGE selection. i also like [fabricempire.com](https://fabricempire.com) for non quilting fabrics but honestly they might have great quilting fabrics, i've just never looked. i like that they'll send any sample for a buck.
Ok ladies, I am looking to purchase fabric on line any suggestions who is the best supplier and best prices.

Fatquartershop.com, fabric.com, MSQC.com. If you know brand name or collection you want then check out local quilt store websites. Takes a little more effort but you are supporting local owners and their families.

I have purchase many fabrics online. My favorite are Etsy (many shops and all deliver quickly), Amazon, Havers Island, Missouri Star Quilting, Fat Quarter Shop and Craftsy. I’m sure there are others!
I’m hoping to get a full collection of fat quarters for the Elizabeth Hartman Fancy Forest quilt but am struggling here in the UK to find anyone who sells them. Does anyone know a shop who stocks them and willing to send to the uk? This is what I’ve got so far!

I am from Iceland and I have ordered from www.fatquartershop.com
Anyone have a suggested site/shop for precut quilt patterns? I haven’t been quilting very long still learning the ropes looking for easy to medium difficulty projects

I have loved www.FatQuarterShop.com's website for over a decade. They are in Texas and I'm in Canada, but they have awesome selection for this newbie.
I am looking for a cinnamon roll in a light blue denim color. I checked Missouri star quilt company. They didn't have the denim color. Does anyone know where I can find it?
Where do you go (website, LQS, etc) to purchase your fat quarter bundles? I have looked at quite a few places, and have not been too happy with their selections. Maybe you folks go some where that I did not consider? Thank you! xo

Lately I've ordered specials from Fort Worth Fabric Studio. Great deals and fabric! Priority mail!! I've ordered from Fat Quarter Shop as well-- but only when on sale. There are little if any incentives at FQS.

I use my LQS first then I move to the internet. I love the fat quarter shop they have a great selection are reasonably priced freight costs to Australia doesn't go over $40 and it always arrives quickly even at this time of year. Next in line is Craftsy the have different fabric to what I see around where I live and also have good prices and great sales, then I'd recommend Southern fabrics who are also very good.

Fat Quarter Shop out of Texas. Usually here in three days. I live in ND.
Please help me plan a Christmas gift for my mom who loves quilting I'm making an advent calendar for my mom for Christmas because i occasionally like to spoil her like she's a child. She's diabetic so just stuffing it full of candy is out (and kind of boring anyway). Instead, i wanted to choose gifts based on her hobbies, one of which is quilting.
Do any of you have any recommendations for small quilting gifts that are either ridiculous, useful, or both? She's been quilting for decades and even worked for a quilt shop for a while after she retired from her career, and she still occasionally does sewing machine repair. I know she wants a chatelaine (sp?) and if anyone has a recommendation for that sort of thing I'd appreciate it.
Sorry if this sort of post isn't allowed on this sub, just downvote to oblivion and I'll take the hint
EDIT: thanks so much for all of your great suggestions! I think I've got enough to fill it up now. Y'all are the best!

I wonder if there is such a thing.... I'm wanting to find a place where I can get precut squares of fabric, that aren't duplicates. Like a charm pack, of paisley fabrics, but every single one is different....

Try www.fatquartershop.com. My sew sampler box had something like this a couple months ago.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions where to buy fabric on line? I need to sew a baby quilt for my granddaughter who is expecting her first baby in March. Thanks in advance.

Fat Quarter Shop!! I just saw that fabric on a site! It's out there!
I need to make a baby quilt for a boy with yellow, gray, and white chevrons. Anyone have any recommendations for patterns and/or fabrics? I've never made a baby quilt before, so any help would be appreciated.
