I have found that if I want to find a type of fabric for sale on line, if I just type, for example, silk organza fabric into Google, and then use Search Images, rather than just Search or Search Web, I get the results I want. Since most fabric sellers have a photo of the fabric, I tend to find what I want, and not get all the unusable results.
I imagine this would work well for anything that would have a photo of it in an online sale format. I have found some interesting sources that I would never otherwise have come across. |

Thanks, I didn't know you could search only images.

Thanks, I will give that a try. It will save hours of surfing trying to find something I want and leave me more time to enjoy Patternreview.com!

I have found that if you add "yard" and "$" to your terms you will get fabric sites and eliminate most of the items ready made with that fabric.

I currently have the Google toolbar permanently installed on my desktop (alon with their pop-up blocker). I love it, and here is yet another use!
