Hawthorne Threads is great.

Fabricguru.com is incredible

I have found designer fabric on Etsy and have never had any problem like I had with fabric.com. Just do a search by name and you should be able to find it. Better shipping and customer service.

Hawthorne Threads, Hancock Fabrics. On ETSY-- Moona Fabrics, CarmenJass, Scizzors. On EBAY--quilteralice, verymerrymary, mmourningdove. JUST NOT Fabric.com

Online fabric store.net is your bet right now... i used them now... i can even go to their warehouse and all the stuff are very friendly... by the way OFS is the online store of Osgoods... check them out...

Fabricguru! They have "remnant deals" where you get very inexpensive, but quality, fabrics. I got 9 yards of a fabric that's typically $30 per yard for $79! It's great!

Try to shop local if you can. Hancock Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and Joann Fabrics are all good sources for fabric. But unfortunately, they won't have the selection you can find online. In my opinion, one would have to be desperate to order from Fabric.com.

The worst think that can happen is you don't get the fabric and they refund your money. As long as you don't "need" it by a certain time, you should be fine trying them first, especially if it is on sale :).
I have put in order with them when I needed something for a project and that is where I get in trouble if they don't really have it.
