I'm looking for some good sites to buy quilting fabric from. I've never bought online but none of the stores in my area have what I want. Do you have any sites?
Fabric.com has gone soooooo downhill over the past year, I wish I could time travel back to 2009 and buy everything back when you could combine their once great sales, low cotton pricing, and a 30% off total purchase coupon. And decent customer service. Sigh.
Fabricworm is another good one. I agree that Etsy has lots of good stores. I've been happy with the fabric I've gotten from Connecting Threads, too- it's not premium stuff, but, it's great for the price.

I buy cotton from Fabric.com, but only from designers I've noticed have quality fabric in B&M quilt shops.
Spoonflower is nice because their patterns are always printed on the same fabric. You can order a swatch packet of their fabric types so you know ahead of time what you are getting. They charge a lot per yard, so it's the least they can do.

My grandma and aunties who are prolific quilters buy from Craftsy.com They seem quite happy with the quality and shipping is a flat rate so they buy massive amounts.
I don't buy fabric that often anymore because I have far too much now. If I'm buying online, it's usually for a specific project, so I'll usually search for what I need. I don't really have a "go to" place other than Green Fairy Quilts where I get almost all of my precuts (their free US shipping is awesome). I also like Westwood Acres and Etsy in general (lots of different shops - just depends on what I need).
Most of my fabric purchases have actually been through Instagram. I follow a lot of people that have Etsy shops. It's cheaper for them to sell through IG (no Etsy fees), so you can usually get a better deal if they sell there too. There is also #thegreatfabricdestash hashtag you can follow on IG. You can get good deals from people trying to clear out their fabric stashes.

Most of the place I use have already been listed but I also buy some fabric, particularly pre-cuts, off EBay. Much cheaper for me than buying pre-cuts where I live.
