Search Engines for Fabrics and other quilty things

Post by knitnoid » Fri Jan 25, 2008 4:48 am

When I'm searching for new fabrics there are two search engines that I go to:

FabShopHop.com
http://www.fabshophop.com/fabsearch.asp ... search.asp

and

QuiltShops.com
http://www.quiltshops.com/search.htm'>h ... search.htm

If I have a recent purchase, but can't find what I'm looking for, FabShopHop.com has an e-mail search. Several years ago I used this service. I had a FQ, which naturally didn't have the writting on it, and couldn't find the fabric anywhere. I posted a picture of the fabric on my photosite and sent the link in the e-mail. A quilt shop in Virgina responded to me and I had 4 yards of the fabric within the week.

For older fabric, or out of print fabric, there is MisingFabrics.com
http://www.missingfabrics.com/'>http:// ... brics.com/

I've not been sucessful with this site finding fabric, but I have found fabric for other people.
