Otherwise, I always look for free shipping such as fabric.com has. Fabric can be heavy and bulky and I'm not usually willing to pay an extra .50c to $1 per yard.

I avoid places that show prices by the 1/2 yard. I suppose they're ashamed of their per yard prices and are trying to mislead customers. It offends me that they must think I'm that stupid.

A place I don't believe I've ever seen mentioned but have ordered from several times is http://www.corinthianmills.com/.

I totally agree with you about the 1/2 yard pricing, has always annoyed me and made me wonder why on earth they feel it is necessary to use these types of tricks to sell. I like JC Penney's new approach to selling.... $15.00 not $14.99.

Depending on what you're looking for, Nancy's Notions has a lot of hard to find notions.

My favorite is "The Quilted B. (www.thequiltedb.com). They have beautiful fabrics, good prices with good sales and beautiful packaging. Just ordered today and always look forward to getting my fabric, always looks perfect, pressed and folded......can't be beat.

connectingthreads.com when looking for pirate stuff, do you just put in Pirate fabric? I find that works better than browsing the different sites. You will get lots of sites that have what you want. I had to do that with sea turtles..smile

guessing Reno is closest Quilt Shops...............I have had good experience with keepsake quilting and you can call and speak to an actual person................ www.keepsakequilting.com 1-800-865-9458
looked through the current catalouge and did not see pirates

I have bought from hawthorn threads several times and been very happy. Also the rented mule I have found to be very good too.

I think the problem is that the pirate thing was kind of a fad that peaked about a year ago, and a lot of the manufacturers that were making pirate fabric have discontinued it, so that now you can only find it in the smaller shops and a lot of them tend to not be very well indexed by the search engines.

Someone here just led me to bugfabric.com, though, and they have LOADS of pirate stuff. I could make three or four quilts out of what they have to offer and they'd all be really unique. So it's great to have a list of those smaller sites just in case the search engines aren't taking me to where I need to go!

Hancocks of Paducah has a huge selection; love Conncection Threads & Fat Quarters

I like Hancocks of Paducah because I LOVE getting the "real" catalog. But they never have sales. Connecting Threads is probably my favorite. I also like Bear's Paw. In fact, they're having a sale now. And Fabric.com has a daily special that I like better than Missouri Quilt (you can only buy 1 daily special a day at MO Q which isn't fun).
