Where to shop online for small cuts?
#1
I've just recently learned applique and am simply hooked! Do any of you have good online resources where I can buy 1/4 yards or fat quarters of fabrics? With the applique I don't need to pick up whole yards as much as I need an assortment of small pieces. I just ordered some from Favorite Fabrics but could use more resources. I don't like the dullness of Moda and have given away most of my precuts.
Thanks everyone,
Janet

I also prefer smaller cuts - I'd rather have the variety of 40 purples in different textures than one or two fabrics.
These shops offer 1/4yd cuts:

I wish more sites online also did that, including the bigger ones like eQuilter and Hancocks. Maybe one day.

I also like small pieces of fabric, there are some online stores that are willing to cut 1/4 yard pieces. I go to quiltshops.com to find the fabric I am looking for, then I just start trying to put 1/4yd. in my cart, some will, some won't. Recently I have been looking for a specific line and wanted small cuts, the stores that had the fabric wouldn't allow me to buy 1/4 yd pieces. I sent an email to the shop stating that I would be interested in buying a large quantity of many small pieces of these fabrics as well as some larger cuts, would they consider cutting small pieces for me. I got a reply, and they said that they would do it and explained how to do the order. This is a long story just to say...it can't hurt to ask. They may not be willing to do it for a $10.00 sale, but if you are spending more, I would definetly try it.
