Build Your Fabric Stash on a Budget

We all want to build our fabric stash. But many of us are on a budget. How do we get all that pretty fabric and not end up in the poor house? I have a few tips for you.

Tip #1

My first tip is to shop the clearance rack at your local quilt shop. I know the owner of my local quilt shop likes to bring in new fabrics. She will clearance fabrics that have been in the shop for an extended period to be able to bring in new. I like to visit that wall and see if anything is calling my name. You can do the same thing when I visit online shops. I like

Tip 2

Another way to stretch you fabric budget is to checkout Missouri Star’s Daily Deal. If I find a fat quarter bundle, jelly roll or other pretty pack I can’t live without I put it in my cart. Then because it is so much better to buy fabric than to pay for shipping. Next I head on over to the sale page and fill my cart until I’ve met the quota for free shipping. Just another fun way to build your fabric stash on a budget. Here is an example of some fun finds I acquired using this method.

Tip 3

Though I don’t buy a lot of fabric from JoAnn’s or Hobby Lobby. They are however a good place to buy backs for your quilts. Their coupons will save you a pretty penny. I just make sure the thread count is good and the fabric feels nice. If you hold the fabric up to the light you can gage the thread count. Don’t want the fabric I put in my quilt to fall apart after a few washes.
