The people who love to quilt are a rare breed.

Quilters embrace different types of fabrics like artists embrace brushes and a color wheel.

Bold and bright as well as soft and comfortable fabrics are the body consciousness of a quilt.

Fabrics are part of the personal statement that a quilter wants to make, reflecting both the style of quilt and the personality of the artist.

Quilters love looking through various fabrics and brainstorming how they want their quilt to look. That’s why online fabric stores for quilters are so important.

FAQ about Online Fabric Shopping

Where can I buy quality quilting fabric online?

The sites that we have listed here are a great starting point for finding quality fabric. I would suggest looking at reviews of the fabrics and the company you are thinking about purchasing from. Ask around and see if any of your quilting friends have purchased from them.

What is the best online fabric store?

If you need several different types of fabrics, I would suggest fabric.com. They offer pretty much every variety of fabric under the sun and at reasonable prices. One of my favorite parts of buying from fabric.com is that you get discounts if you purchase in “bulk.” Those discounts can really add up and give you some significant savings. 

Where can I buy inexpensive quilting fabric?

If you are shopping for quilting fabric on a budget, I highly recommend going to your favorite fabric sites and look for the “sale” or “clearance” tab. Several of the sites on this list have great sales, and you can get quality, designer fabric for the same price you would pay at big box stores for cheaply made fabrics.
