How to find certain material?

When y'all have a certain color or pattern in mind, how do you go about searching for it? You want yellow flowers on a blue backgound, or Disney characters on a pink backgound, or whatever - do you just have 10 or 20 on-line stores that you Google separately? Or is there a more streamlined way?

Shop til ya drop, Ed!! i think most of us have such a large stash of fabrics, we pretty much have what we want. A good place to check would be any of the web sites of fabric stores or your local fabric store. you sometimes can email a store and they will research for you.

You can type in 2 or 3 words describing what you're hunting at 'item search' and then you must click on 'thumbnails' to see what's available there. This site does not, of course, cover all the great shops - for example, equilter isn't listed there and they are wonderful. Happy hunting. Polly

Well, from past experience, any very specific idea I have in mind for the ideal fabric ("blue dragonflies 1 inch long on a cream background", or "the exact same shade of red as this photo") is doomed to failure. Corollary of Murphy's Law! So I try not to be that specific if I have to shop. Better to start with existing stash, which is full of stuff I liked enough to buy it, and work from there. But I have been known to google, when desperate. Roberta in D
