I picked up an extra swatch book from Spoonflower at the Maker Faire. If you send me your address, I am happy to send it along to you. They have more types then I thought.

I think it is nice quality cotton. I am heading to the Maker Fair on Saturday and Spoonflower is doing something with Burda. I think we will get to sew with some of the fabric so I'll let you know what if feels like.

<p>I buy a lot of fabrics online and has so far only had one disappointment. That was my own fault, though, I misread the width of the stripes on a fabric. I read 8 centimeters when it was 8 inches...</p>

<p>I have bought from Fabric.com, but also buy from Cheapfabrics:</p>

<p>In the UK I have used croftmill, stone fabrics I can't sing their praises high enough, Gorgeous Fabrics and I buy a hell of a lot on ebay. But you do have to know your sellers. I wouldn't recommend Minerva Fabrics. Some of the stuff I got was ok but it was generally not somewhere I would buy from again for quality reasons.</p>

<p>DCFabrics however are fantastic and I tend to get good deals when people are clearing out their fabric. I made a cardi yesterday from 2 m of hot pink jersey that cost me 99p! so the cardi cost around 40p to make!</p>

<p>I have used <a href="http://www.jandofabrics.com/" target="_blank">J & O fabrics</a> a few times, they are in the Usa and I'm in Aus.</p>
<p>Took 12 days from the day I ordered to the day it arrived. I had a problem using my credit card and had to go via pay pal but other than that it was great. The fabric was so much more vibrant than on the web site.</p>
<p>The postage was fine as long as I stayed under 7 yards. Over 7 and the postage jumped from $13 to $45!!</p>

I'm glad that you've asked the question, Rachel, as I am hesitant about buying online too. I mean, I've done it, but I have fallen into the trap of buying quilting cottons when I want something with better usage for clothing. But, I'm also not the most knowledgeable about fabric shopping anyhow. I've done eBay and I have various links for online fabric stores, but I don't know which ones are good yet. I'll def be browsing all the suggestions everyone has been giving!
