Fabric dot com and Amazon
I have noticed that the only place I could find my favorite batting was on fabric dot com. I used to buy the batting, and shop for a little 'sale' fabric just for fun. Now that they have linked up with amazon, you usually have a minimum amount of 'on sale' yardage you have to purchase, often as much as 6 yards! I am so disappointed. Now the only place I can find my favorite batting is on amazon, so I guess that is what I will have to do.

I've always ordered wide flannel for backing from Fabric.com. I got my latest order from them last week ( it came shipped by Amazon) and I could just cry! Their flannel has always been nice- soft and thick, no problems with it at all. What I got last week is a joke. When it came out of the dryer, it had pills all over it. It's disgusting, I can't even use it or return it because I've already washed and dried it. I guess they've changed their supplier. I won't be ordering any more from them.

RosaSharon, what is the brand of batting you prefer?
I will still buy from Fabric.com if they are the only one who has what I need, but when they went to the policy of charging more for 1/2 yd., it ceased to be a practical place for me to shop. I haven't really missed them, and I doubt they have missed me, LOL. Thankfully, there are endless alternatives.

its funny I loved Fabric.com and I do still really like Amazon... but I hate to say that Fabric.com lost something special they had when Amazon bought them.
the only thing that I do like is that now that Amazon owns Fabric.com I am able to find items that ship for free. Not all of it does but I don't have to spend $50.... I just look at Amazon before I order from Fabric.com

RosaSharon, I googled the Dream Green poly batting, and there seem to be several places that carry it, along with some Etsy sellers. Here's a link to the google search page:

Backside Fabrics carries it. I have had very good luck ordering fabric from Backside. Love their prices on backside bargains...wide backings.
