“I shop for [insert sewing or doll supply online often and sometimes need to run to Joann’s or Walmart if it’s an emergency. You never know with fabric or sewing emergencies. I love browsing fabric web sites, Only complaint I usually have is that there is not always something in the picture to give scale so I can see if the fabric print is the correct scale.

Gwen Moore

I shop for most of my immediate sewing needs at Hobby Lobby as they are close by. I sometimes make the 30 mile (one way) trip to JoAnn’s or buy on line when I am not in a hurry. The WalMart in town has fabric, too. However, it sometimes is difficult to find someone to cut it.

Melody

January 03, 2021

I shop for mechanical sewing needs at Sewing Machines Plus and have for many years because they have a wide selection and prompt shipping. But most importantly, I shop for 18" doll patterns and classes at Pixie Faire. What? It’s true. You can get fabrics and notions at Joanns, my nearest one is 30 miles away so I often shop onlilne instead, but I am a longarm quilter full time in my home and I have a full stash closet, so when I have a second to sew and want a new pattern, I want it NOW. I am always pleased to have that immediate gratification, instant download, and reliable product and if there is a video class to go with the pattern OH JOY!!

Patti M

January 03, 2021

“I shop for small trim and lace online at Lace Place. I was pleased with how quickly they ship out but more importantly how they ship the lace and trim, they carefully wrap each selection onto a cardboard “bolt/card” so it stays neat and tidy until ready for use. I also love our local quilt shop Stitchin Heaven in Quitman TX for browsing and online shopping. I try to support the small quilt shops as much as possible for fabric. They are slowing dying out all around us and find with doll clothes the fabric amount needed is so small the extra $1-2 a yard well worth supporting a family/families in my area.

Shelly Hammond

January 03, 2021

I shop for fabric, trims, etc. at Excelsior Fabrics. It is a locally owned Mennonite store. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

Starr

January 03, 2021

I shop for sewing supplies in person at Joann Fabrics or Walmart. Right now, they are the only option locally. On line I have bought from Pixie Faire and Nancy’s Notions (loved Nancy Z).

Not just for the chance to win but to hear from others who share our passion.

I bought my Janome machine from Moye’s in Savannah, GA years ago, I take it in every year for service and am very pleased with both my machine and the service.

Pam B

January 03, 2021

I shop at every store that carries fabric usually. During this past year, I can’t go out to stores as I used to so I have been shopping in my own stash and have even raided my husband’s old work shirts instead of donating them. I can’t say much about customer service but as an st risk person, it is better safe than sorry.

Corinne Janes

In Ontario fabric stores are becoming more rare. I have one local shop I support, but as a snowbird, I’m always at Joanns and Hobby Lobby. I always check the remnants first.

Maria Roberts

January 03, 2021

I shop for my sewing supplies on line. I like to buy from small businesses like Spun Honey, Lovies Fabric, Wanderlust Designs Custom Fabric,Kammie Lou Lou’s fabric shop to name a few. I think it is very important especially now in this hard time to support the small businesses. Not to mention they have the best fabrics and customer service is superior. My go to place for my machines and I bought a few in the last year from them is Sewing Machines Plus. Right now I am waiting for a special order Juki that only 2000 released to the United States from them. Their customer service is superior and the only place I would buy my machines from. They call me to go over my orders. Additionally I buy all my thread and Scissors from them so they’re not just machines I get all my notions and supplies there too. I highly recommend them.

MaryC

January 03, 2021

I have such a hoard of fabric and supplies, I can normally find what I need at home. :-) If I need a notion replaced I check with Joann’s online and wait for free shipping to be available whenever I can.

Janet

January 03, 2021

My go to store for anything sewing is JoAnns. My daughter told me about Wawak. They have a large selection of materials. Great price on cone thread for my serger and needles. Found a variety of twin needle sizes that I’ve added to my supplies. The smallest is great for doing double row stitching on doll clothes. I’ve been very happy with their service and delivery.

Liza

January 03, 2021

I online shop at JoAnn’s, Michaels and Cricut. All sent what I ordered but the delivery was very slow. Due to our own health issues we do not shop in stores right noe. Everything is delivered.

Carol B

January 03, 2021

I live in a very rural area where fabric shopping is limited to Wal Mart and a local quilt shop. Recently I have been buying fabric from Etsy shops that sell smaller cuts at acceptable prices. I always go to Joann’s and/or Hobby Lobby when we travel the 100+ miles to the nearest city. I recycle many things for fabric, trims and buttons, mostly purchased from yard sales or thrift shops

Dianne

January 03, 2021

I shop for 100 per cent cotton at my local quilt shop. They have small 1930 prints. I order my thread, elastic etc for curbside pick up at a major fabric chain. Although during Covd I have been ordering on line with good results. Dianne

Elizabeth

January 03, 2021

I shop for Velcro at Pinkismart on Etsy. I was pleased with the color selection and the quality of the product.

Mary G.

January 03, 2021

I shop at Joann’s in the clearance - it’s a busy store and I don’t need much fabric since doll clothes are small. If it’s something special (like Notre Dame fabric) then I go to ETSY.

Pam

January 03, 2021

Joann’s is my go to for ribbons and trims.

Bill Young

January 03, 2021

Almost all of the fabrics I use for quilting and sewing come from two of my favorite shops: Fabrics Etcetera in Webster, TX and The Fabric Shop in Ruston, LA. The owners and staff members in both places are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and they go out of their way to help me with whatever I’m working on. I try to keep up with what’s on sale, and I usually buy more than I need — just in case. I have ordered very successfully from Missouri Star Quilt Company in Missouri and Jordan Fabrics in Oregon. They, too, have been very helpful. Occasionally I will get things from JoAnn or Hobby Lobby, but I do think it’s very important to keep local businesses and shops in mind whenever I can.

Rachel

January 03, 2021

I shop at the dollar store for items I can repurpose into doll clothes- hats, socks, etc. I shop JoAnn’s for fabric because it’s affordable and convenient. I shop PixieFaire and Violette Fields Threads for patterns because they both have such a good selection and great sales.

Brenda Hannan

January 03, 2021

I shop for my notions mostly from locally owned small businesses. Sometimes they don’t ha e what I’m looking for, so Fabricland is my next go to, then on line is amazon or Ali express or wish. I’d rather shop local, but finding what you need is lost impossible

Marlene

January 03, 2021

I shop Joann’s for glitzy metallics and sheers. Customer service has always been good.

Nancy R

January 03, 2021

I shop for sewing and knitting supplies at Atlantic Fabric or Fabricville. Local business. Occasionally I shop online for knitting supplies at Knitpicks.com or Briggsandlittle.com for wool. This is a Maritime company that has the loveliest wool.

Lois

January 03, 2021

I shop for fabric at JoAnn’s or Hobby Lobby. However, I love to search for items to “repurpose” into the doll clothes I make. Sometimes it is difficult to find the right small scale print – so I look at crib sheets, cotton curtains, tablecloths at thrift stores. I repurposed a soft fleecy robe into 5 robes for AG dolls!

Cath

January 03, 2021

I shop for doll sized zippers, buttons, doll velcro and buckles at Zipper That Doll. I was pleased with the quality and speed of shipping. The prices were competitive.
I find a lot of my doll sized fabrics in presewn garments and in remnant bins. I can get a smaller cut of fabric at a good price, since I am only making one doll sized outfit.
Thanks for the opportunity. Happy stitching!

Sheila

January 03, 2021

I shop for 18 inch doll clothes on Pixie Faire. I have been very pleased with all the patterns that I have gotten. They are all very easy to follow.

I shop for a most of my fabrics and notions at JoAnn Fabrics. The rest is the online when I can’t find what I’m looking for.

Robin

January 03, 2021

I shop for fabric and notions at Joanns because of the convenience and coupons they offer. Also, customers can buy as little as a quarter of a yard in-person as opposed to on-line minimums.

Helene Dahl

January 03, 2021

My biggest problem was finding zippers and buttons and other notions in a scale suitable for doll clothes. I have been very happy with Homesew and Zipperthatdoll. I have found no suppliers in Canada.

Allison C

January 03, 2021

I shopped at the dollar store and Amazon and found fold-over elastic for a swimsuit pattern so my daughter could take a properly-outfitted doll on vacation in early winter :) The swimsuit fabric was one of her old suits. With so few places to shop locally, I need to get creative!

Sherry Kyler

January 03, 2021

Joann fabrics Is my go to for my notions. I go to Verna’s in Mifflintown and Mary Lees in Allensville for all my fabrics. Nice quality fabrics.

mariann

January 03, 2021

My only local place to shop for sewing supplies is Walmart In the past year, our WM was reduced to 1/4 size, our Joann’s closed and my local sewing machine service/parts shop closed. I improvise a lot… using what is available, but having to make many adjustments. New Year, new ways of “making do” with what’s available.

Linda Speed

January 03, 2021

I like to shop at several stores, both online and in person. I like Home Sew for my zippers, notions, and doll sized hangers. Whenever I travel I like to shop the local independent fabric stores. They have great selections of regional inspired prints that make my clothe unique. That’s true of my local quilt/fabric stores. And I love Snap Source for their wide selection of small snaps. (I hate to hand sew and that includes buttons. Snaps give my clothes that something special.)
