Ok, here's the deal. Dear old WalMart used to be the place I snagged certain fabrics (namely velvet and pseudo suede), due to the lower cost and the fact that they carried them all season long. Unfortunately, however, WalMarts in my area are no longer selling fabric. Dunno why, but they just aren't. Sadly, my local JoAnne Fabrics store is kind of expensive in comparison to WalMart, and they don't have the fabric I'm looking for this time of the year anyway.

So, my question to knowing persons is this: Does anyone know of any online fabric stores that sport a good selection of fabric (and colors, colors are good), that also has decent pricing and shipping? Thus far, I've been fairly unsuccessful in finding one that meets all of my standards. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I can't find what I'm looking for, as I was intending to make some things to sell with the aforementioned fabrics. Hopefully, one of you awesome people have the answer. smile

Though I've looked at one or two, I haven't found any I really liked. I honestly am not a big fan of the buying fabric online concept. I need to see it in person, feel it, etc.

Denver Fabrics is the only one I've seen that doesn't seem specialized to a certain type of fabric... :3

I have tried ebay and have found all sorts of fabrics, and fabric patterns. There is also alot of fabric that people sell that are much older or out of date if you are looking for something different. I had purchased a mushroom pattern in polyester knit. It looks to be of the 1960's or 70's..it's worth a try mrgreen
