So I was browsing Threads magazine the other day and ran across this article about buying fabrics online. I've done this for years, but what caught my eye was that they published an entire listing of them with brief descriptions. I know this is something many of us struggle with, so I Thought I'd share.

Threads is an amazing magazine! I highly recommend it. Thanks for posting this Darth Mule. Much appreciated! And just an FYI for everyone - the link for www.finefabricstores.com is a definite keeper. There is a button there that you can click to email all of the stores at once with whatever you are looking for. I did it a couple of hours ago and have already heard back from 5 or 6 stores. Unfortunately it was to tell me they didn't have what I was looking for but I SO greatly appreciated it nonetheless!
 
Thanks Chris! That's a great list.

Also, I have to say, if anyone ever gets a chance to visit the M&J Trim store in NYC...go! I die every time I go there. Floor to ceiling trims, buttons, etc. *sigh*
 
Wow, thanks for sharing! I've given you credit and posted this info in The SCF's Library forum. That's a great list to save for other costumers who'll undoubtedly be asking questions about these in the future.
 
Wow, that's quite a collection. Any chance you could narrow down my search parameters by telling me where to start looking for nylon cordura 600?
 
I did a quick google search and there were lots of sources for Cordura 600

http://www.fabricmaster.net

These guys have three colours and seems like a fairly reasonable price. I've never ordered from there though so I don't know how they are to deal with.
 
This is an awesome post. I hope you don't mind I tweeted it!

I don't mind. Nor do I know what that means. :lol

I just did the www.finefabricstores.com thing and have already heard back from people that think they might have my fabric (I had a pic of the swatch I was looking for).

If anyone has anything to add to the list, please post it and I'll update. Try to add a little blurb about the store too and what category it falls into.
 
Added Sewtrue and Atlanta Thread, my two favorite notions places.

Also added:
MJ Cahn - Great Uniform and Coating wool.
Reproduction Fabrics - great period prints.
Trim Fabric
Military Heritage - Reenactment wool meltons.

I think this thread got buried. I had to do a search for it to find that multiple fabric emailer that Fangs listed. We really should sticky this or something.
