Hi

I heard that there are suppliers that offer subscriptions where they send you fabric swatches to select from.

I'm looking to buy fabric and I just can't get a good idea from the pictures online...

Can any of you help?

Thanks

Most fabric companies will have a swatch service. Sometimes they charge by the year, sometimes it's per mailing. When you visit the fabric sites, look for swatch mailings. Go to google and type in fabric swatch service. You'll find a million of them.

I get swatches from Vogue Fabrics By Mail and Fashion Fabrics Club.
Both are on line with information. Fashion Fabrics is cheaper -- both the fabrics and the subscription. Vogue is fantastic if you call with questions.
I'm sure you can find them with a Google search.
