Has anyone got a favourite online supplier of fat quarter's? I don't want polycotton but good quality cotton.

I like the look of Higgs & Higgs selection, but haven't found much more within the websites I know about

Fabric Guild for great bargains, but not so much choice.

Doughty’s, Empress Mills and Bramble patch.

If I’m feeling really bad I order bulk lots from USA (even with shipping it can work out cheaper)  :devil:

I buy fat quarters from Cotton Patch (they always have well priced wadding) or from EBay. I find Doughtys delivery slow. On EBay there is a vast choice - just make sure you buy a brand name fabric: Makower, Moda, Robert Kaufman, Michael Miller etc. Most sellers are small fabric shops and I’ve found delivery quick and reliable.

 Is the quality of their fabric ok? I have only ordered from them once about a year ago and over half of the FQs were such poor quality it put me off. The fabrics were very thin with an open weave so frayed terribly...

I have never had a bad piece of fabric from them. I find if you go with the branded stuff you can't go wrong.

@sewmuchmore That makes sense. I think I bought non-branded from them before as I was looking for different/ unusual fabrics.
