Where to buy fabric online?

I have a friend who asked me where the best place to buy fabric online is?
I haven't got a clue, so I'm hoping that someone in the fabulous CO+K family might know?

Thanks in advance

Hmm. I don't know of any good sites in the UK but if you don't mind ordering from the states then there is Repot Depot, Fariy Fabrics, Crybaby Boutique, and J & O fabrics oh and Fat Quarter.com

You could try macculloch-wallis.co.uk they have a great range of stock and will even send you out samples if you ask. They also stock a huge range of trimmings, haberdashery and millinery etc etc...

Hi, I hope no-one minds if I link to my own UK fabric shop here, that I just launched this week- http://www.sewbox.co.uk, it's not a huge range yet but there are some really nice fabrics and they're all top quality (John Kaldor is the range also sold in John Lewis at about double the price!)
