Quilting cottons?
« on: November 27, 2018, 18:49:28 PM »
Where is the best online source of nice quilting cottons please?  Not necessarily the cheapest, but the best choice.  I used to use Fancy Moon, but unfortunately they went bust.  I've had some nice FQs from eBay, but I would like more choice.  Google hasn't been terribly helpful. 
They aren't technically for 'quilting' as such, but for lightly quilted zipped pouches, peg bags and other small crafty projects.

Cotton Patch probably has one of the biggest choices (that doesn't sound very grammatical).
Doughtys have loads of nations cheaper than elsewhere.
I have also used JB quilting quite a lot.

I've used Empress Mill for quilting cottons, not ordered from their website as I live quite close to them but I do browse on it to see what they've got and for inspiration.
Highs and Higgs might also be useful to you

Do you mean fabrics or threads?
Fabrics...... Doughtys, Cotton Patch Pelenna Patchworks are my 3 "online go to outlets"
Threads, I use King Tut for piecing and Perle no8 for hand quilting

I think it turned notions into nations.
Whoever invented autocorrect needs to be sold off cheaply. :fish:

On the other hand it does have a sense of humour.  It would not accept SMG for Senior Management Group, but kept insisting on smug, or smog.

I definitely didn't type notions - it's not a word I ever use in relation to sewing - whatever I typed it was brains I was thinking of.  See what happened there, I typed batons and it turned it into brains.  Typed it again now it's turned it to batons.  I'm trying to say BATIKS.
