Where do you find the best deals on fabric -- rolls of cotton fabric, for instance, "bolts"?

Is there a fabric discounter in CLT that I am missing? Please help! (Thank you!)

Two things. Get on ebay. You will find there are people selling short rolls and from NC. Work backwards - when you find someone located nearby, just email them.

Secondly: you will have more luck w/ short ends (wh/ may have more than 20 yards or so) if you check out fabric on 321 N, b/n Hickory and Lenoir.

Don't know much about fabric...especially bulk...but what about Mary Jo's in Gastonia? Everyone talks about Mary Jo's when they talk about fabric.

Yep, Mary Jo's is where my wife goes for fabric, and that's a trip from Matthews.

Went to Mary Jo's once and walked out with exactly what I was looking for. Found the exact same fabric that I saw in an interior design shop.

Also, last year a new fabric store opened but haven't been thier yet.

Fabric World
2520 Whitehall Park Dr
Charlotte
704-587-1125
mon- sat 9:30-5:30

Went to sew something for DH and the machine took a dive, now I need to have it serviced so the fabric sits in the corner waiting.
