Faves, new dealers? (Moderated by Deepika)
Posted on: 3/24/15 9:09 AM ET
I've had great success ordering from Etsy with individuals for gifts, notions, vintage fabric, always been quick & easy. What about new moderate-priced fabrics--any faves?
I read that their model was changing somewhat as individuals are dropping out and regular dealers coming in.
Looking for new sources as too many bad reviews on former Fabric.com deals. Nothing! spring in JA's or Hancock's inspires, altho I prefer to touch fabrics first.

I have ordered from shadesofgloryfabrics a couple of times.
fabricsandtrimmings > Nice choices but they were very slow shipping.
JeanMariesFabrics > Great customer service
sewwhatsnewfabrics > Very fast shipping. My order shipped the very next day.

If we didn't have Enablers here, we could probably all buy new cars!

Miss Matatabi on Etsy for Japanese fabrics. The price is fair for the product, the selection is great, and shipping is pretty fast.

That's what husbands are for.

I've never used them, but I've seen StylishFabric recommended and will probably order from them eventually.
I just placed my first order with PrintedSilkFabric and am waiting for my order to arrive (coming from abroad); their service through the ordering process and answering a question I had was great, and their prices and shipping costs to the US are incredibly reasonable assuming that the quality is good (for what it's worth, they've had lots of sales and have an excellent rating, so it probably is good material). Their descriptions are detailed, too.
Hope that helps!

Note to All:
SewWhatsNew contacted me to question of annoying Etsy listings of not having only Fabric YARDAGE. You have to go thru flowers, fat quarters, notions, ribbon, etc. She said people can list anything so it will pop up under other categories. Fabric sellers have tried to get separate lisings to no avail, so she suggested we could send them our feedback--power in numbers!

I would be interested to know what you think once you've received your shipment from PrintedSilkFabric.

Yes it is quite annoying some of the things you have to sift through to find what you want. I rather enjoy having fabrics not found at big box stores.

I just ordered some pretty blue and black wool striped fabric from Koshtex, first time for me ordering fabric on Etsy, and the fabric is really nice and just what the description was, and the shipping was very fast. I will order from them again.
