Some more stores in the USA that I've purchased fabric from. Remember to read my previous blogs that covers general information on postage in the USA (particularly relevant to those of you who live outside the USA like me) and of course my favourite band wagon topic sign up or those newsletters or blogs to hear about the latest sales first and of course even better getting those coupons to save you even more money that you can spend on buying more of your favourite fabric, tools or patterns.
Quilter's Compass LLC Retail Quilt Shop

This was another shop I found when I was hunting for some out of print (OOP) fabric. The shop had a nice variety of fabric up for purchase at pretty good prices. Postage wise they use the flat rate postage envelopes but check with them to find out what the relevant price is for your country and/or internally within the US. I found them very easy to communicate with via email and very fast respondents both in terms of responding to my questions and in dispatching my order.
The Quilting Garden

Postage: $17.00 for up to $70 spent. NOTE: postage based on amount purchased NOT yardage purchase.

Like Quilter's Compass, I found the Quilting Garden chasing another OOP piece of fabric, the Bella Flora collection. I fell in love with the poppy design after purchasing some squares off of eBay when I first started quilting. Took me ages to find out who designed/manufactured the fabric and then a while longer to find a store that sold some of the fabric aka The Quilting Garden. Checking the site out for the blog, I notice they have some of that fabric on sale....being tempted to fill up the stash some more!
Fabric Depot

Postage: Fabric Depot uses flat rate priority envelopes but you will need to touch base with them to get a postage quote.

The Fabric Depot was one of the first online shopping visits I made. They have a great range of not only quilting fabrics but also dress fabrics. Their website is very easy to get around in however, I would warn you the check out cart doesn't hold selections for long as I discovered yesterday. Although I haven't ordered any quilting notions from the site, they do have a good range to select from. And they also sell Accuquilt Go die cuts if you're after any. They have some great sales so its worth checking the site regularly. The current sale at the time of writing this blog is 30% off Moda, Michael Miller and Kaufman fabrics, all great brands.
