Watch www.fabric.com They carry a lot of different things. I've

gotten...well...let's just agree not to tell my husband <big grin> how much
fabric I've gotten from them, ok?? lol They will frequently get "designer"
fabrics. Those are usually garment industry overruns. And when they say
something is really nice quality it always has been IME. Did I mention
that they are very reasonable on price too?? love that place. Their stock
changes frequently. They send out an email newsletter usually on Tuesdays.
It's free to sign up for that.
Another good one for garment fabric that is very nice, but on the reasonable
side is www.trimfabric.com I have gotten some really gorgeous stuff from
them. Check in the discount section and the whole bolt section too. You
can sometimes find amazing deals in both.
NAYY. But very satisfied with both sites. I lived and sewed professionally
in a small town for 8 years. So I know what it's like to try and find good
quality garment fabric. I was nervous the first few times I shopped online,
but I can honestly say I've not had any bad experiences with either of those
sites. A couple of times I've gotten the wrong thing from fabric.com.
(keep in mind this is 2 times out of....we won't discuss how many orders!!
LOL) They immediately shipped me the correct fabric, at no additional
charge, not even postage, and told me to keep what I was sent in error to
use for a future project. ;) Can't beat that!
