Where is the cheapest quilting fabric online?
Jul 21, 2008 | quiltingI love to quilt, but fabric is getting so expensive. Most places are charging $8 to $10 per yard. I need a source for quilting fabric that is inexpensive enough to make my quilts without taking out a loan ;-D thanks.
I like to shop the clearance fabrics at Hancock's of Paducah. They carry quilt shop quality fabric, but the clearance stuff is as low as $3 a yard. Your selection is more limited, but sometimes that's a good thing because it forces you to try new things. In the link below, look for Quilting Fabric Themes on the left side. They'll have First Shot Closeouts for $5 a yard, Bargain Basement for $4, and Last Call for $3. (If you don't see these, click on Quilting Fabric Themes to see the full list.) They cut the fabric generously and shipping is reasonable if you buy larger quantities.
You might want to check out Freecycle. It's an organization within communities that exchanges stuff for free. Search for your city by zip code to find out the closest group.

ask people in your area to donate quilting fabrics to you..put it in the paper….many ladies stop quilting and would love to have you have their leftovers to create memories for your loved ones.

Another local answer is to buy remnants from a fabric shop. You don't need that much of any one, and remnants are really cheap! How about thrift stores? They have LOADS of CHEAP fabric, buttons, zippers, trims, etc. You may have to disassemble clothing, but cheap is the word.
