Title: FQ's
Post by: snoozi soozi on August 17, 2019, 08:28:41 AM: 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

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

Post by: Sheilago on August 18, 2019, 10:24:41 AM: 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.

Post by: RJR_38 on August 19, 2019, 21:58:21 PM: @sewmuchmore That makes sense. I think I bought non-branded from them before as I was looking for different/ unusual fabrics.
