There comes a time in the life of every crafter when the curiosity to shop online becomes too difficult to resist. Even if you are accustomed to frequenting your favorite local fabric stores, the lure of online fabric shopping becomes too much. While it can be a bit intimidating at first, once you pick up the basics, it is easier and more affordable to purchase fabrics online from trusted sources that you can use again and again!
The following tips are intended to help the newbies understand the awesome perks of buying fabric online. It is still fun to physically go to the fabric store sometimes, but these reasons make having both options great.
- No lines, ever. No more standing in a long line or waiting 20 minutes for someone to cut your fabric or someone else’s fabric before they can get to you! When you opt to shop online, you simply click through the selection of fabrics by type, and order! The fabric is then delivered right to your door within days.
- No closing time. Shopping online means that the stores are always open! Is it midnight and you can’t sleep? No problem, hop online and start deciding which fabrics you want for that next project.
- Discount codes. Buying items online is often cheaper thanks to special discount codes and promotions. Most retailers will offer some type of discount for buying online–take advantage of it!
- Larger selection. While physical stores can only hold so much inventory at a time, online fabric stores can hold a virtually endless supply! We can show you every fabric we offer at J&O Fabrics, even the things that are in one of our designer’s stores. There is literally no limit to the space we have on
- Overall convenience. You do not have to leave the house, pay for gas, search for parking and wait for others when you shop online. For these and all of the above reasons, we recommend it when you do not feel like going out into the cold to come and see us!
