Anytime you can't find something, just Google the name
Whittles and you come up with Whittles Fabrics.

I love both companies - they both ship quickly and have reasonable shipping charges. You only have to order $50 to get free shipping from CT.

I especially like Whittles bundles - inexpensive way to get a lot of variety into your stash. If you're making scrappier looking quilts, see if they have a bundle of the kind of fabrics you want.

I order from Connecting Threads but I am lucky enough to live near Whittles and go often! Love the gals there - they are really nice. Their prices keep me spoiled though :-)

I just got an order from Connecting threads recently and the fabric was nice and well priced. Next order will be to the other one to check out their fabric. Checked out their website and I liked some of the fabric they had for sale.

Connecting Threads has a large group of the blenders and solids for $2.96 now. I really like the shading in the Mirage line. I've never ordered the solids. The catalog has more selection than online, so I need to place another order. I also like the fact that they cut free - charms, jelly rolls and layer cakes, etc are priced just like the fabric - at $4.96 to $6.96 a yard. The names are different - those are Moda names - sort of like Kleenex meaning facial tissue.

i prefer Whittles they sell popular lines from Marcus, Hoffman, Benartex, etc - so if you are happy with that quality you will be happy with Whittles.

Connecting Threads sells their own line of fabric.
i feel with Connecting Threads you get what you pay for, cheap prices = cheap fabrics.

i feel with Whittles you get more then what you pay for,
cheap prices = LQS quality fabrics.
