Here at 
Watergirl Quilt Co., we strive to inspire Canadian quilters with our high-quality and beautiful fabrics you can use for your quilting projects. Our fabric company has a wide range of fabric options, and we know that shopping for fabrics online can be a much different experience than buying in person. You can't feel the fabric, stretch it, or see the colours in person, but we do our best to provide clear pictures and fabric descriptions so that our customers can find the perfect fabric for their projects. In today's blog post, we're sharing a few tips for choosing fabrics when shopping online. Continue reading to learn more, and browse our fabrics!

Reasons To Buy Fabric Online

  • Convenience: shopping online allows you to browse fabric options from the comfort of your own home.

  • Variety: online fabric stores often have a larger selection of fabric than brick-and-mortar shops.

  • Price: many fabric suppliers offer sales and discounts to their website newsletter subscribers, allowing for savings on your fabric purchases.


What to Look For When Buying Fabric Online

There's a lot to look for when purchasing fabric online. We recommend choosing your sewing pattern first before buying fabric. Be sure the fabric is of the correct width, and read the fabric's written descriptions and specifications. Choose fabrics from manufacturers that you know and trust if you are concerned about the quality of the fabrics. However, at Watergirl Quilt Co., all our fabrics are high quality and chosen carefully by our staff.


Shop at Trusted Fabric Companies

One of the best ways to ensure you get the highest quality fabrics is to shop at trusted fabric companies. Here at Watergirl Quilt Co., we only offer the best fabrics from top manufacturers, such as Northcott, Figo, AGF, Free Spirit Fabrics, and more.

Can't visit us in person? We also offer video calls where you can see the fabric and get support as you are shopping online. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your quilting fabric, so please reach out today to get started!

Don't Forget Colour and Pattern!

Of course, fabric colour and pattern should also be taken into consideration when shopping online. Consider the overall aesthetic you're trying to achieve with your project, and choose fabric colours and patterns that complement it. Keep in mind that fabric colours may appear slightly different on a computer screen than they do in person, so try to view multiple photos of the fabric if possible before purchasing.
