Search by Keyword
Most fabric websites allow you to search for fabric by keyword. For example, if you are looking for sports inspired fabric you may search "sports" or a particular sport like "basketball" to find the fabric that matches your search term. It's easy to locate all the fabric that relates to your keyword in just a few short minutes. This would take much longer in a brick and mortar store and even with the help of a sales associate you may still not find them all. Thanks to website searches, you can shop from a wide selection of fabric that matches what you are looking for.
Samples
Once you narrow down the fabric that you like you may request samples. Some fabric websites will send you a couple samples free of charge if you pay the shipping. Other sites will charge a nominal fee for the sample. It is worthwhile, however, to get the sample so you know exactly what the fabric looks like in person and if it is really what you are looking for. Websites offer this option to shoppers so they can see the fabrics they like in person before placing a large order.
Compare Prices
Many fabric websites carry similar or the same fabric. So, before you decide to make a purchase from a particular website you will want to compare prices among stores to ensure you are getting the best price. One option is to search the name and style of the fabric in Google to find it on all websites. Another option is to simply visit a couple websites and perform a search for the fabric to compare prices. Most fabric websites have competitive prices, but it's worth taking a few minutes of your time to find the best price on fabric and shipping.
These are just a few tips to help you shop for fabric over the Internet. Keep in mind that all computer screens are a bit different and may portray the colors in the fabric different than they actually are. Always order a sample of the fabric up front to ensure the colors are what you are looking for.
