If you love sewing you know how quickly fabric costs can add up, and if you’re a keen quilter you will also know how tough it can be to find quality fabric at affordable prices. Fortunately, shopping for fabric online is the easiest way to buy cheap fabric, and there are numerous ways to find the fabric you’re looking for without breaking the bank.

Sale Fabric

The best place to find cheap fabric online is in a fabric sale. Most online fabric shops will have a sale page where you can find fabrics on clearance. If you're on a tight budget or just looking to save some money, be sure to check out our fabric sale for some great deals. With prices this low, you won't want to miss out on the opportunity to stock up on discounted fabrics for all of your quilting needs.

TOP TIP: we regularly update our fabric sale so we suggest checking back at least once a month. If you don’t want to miss out on notifications, subscribe to our newsletter.

Discounted Designer Fabrics

Designer fabrics are known for their premium cotton quality and unique, modern designs. They often come in a wide range of colours and prints that are perfect for every sewing occasion imaginable. Due to their exceptional quality, designer fabrics often come at a price, which is why you won’t want to miss out on discounted designer fabrics when they go on sale. By offering cheap designer fabrics, we are able to provide you with access to high-quality fabric at a more affordable price point.

TOP TIP: When shopping for cheap designer fabrics, sort by ‘price ascending’ and you will be able to see all the cheapest fabrics first.

Fabric Remnants

Fabric remnants, such as our bolt ends, are the last pieces of fabric left on the bolt once the majority of the fabric has sold. Bolt ends are often sold at a discounted price since they are not large enough to make a full project on their own. However, they can still be a great way to add variety to your fabric collection without having to spend a lot of money or having to commit to a larger cut of fabric. Fabric remnants can be used to create patchwork quilts, small accessories, or embellishments for larger projects, so they are a cost-effective solution for those looking for smaller pieces of fabric.

TOP TIP: Once a fabric has sold out it is unlikely to be restocked again, so bolt ends are often your last chance to get a piece of the fabric before it is discontinued. If you really like it, buy it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it’s gone it’s gone!

Cheap Fat Quarters

Fat quarters are a common cut of fabric that all quilters will be familiar with but if you don’t know what FQs are, here is everything you need to know about fat quarters. Sometimes, all you need is a fat quarter of fabric for what you are sewing, which is why the smallest cut of fabric we sell is a fat quarter. Cheap fat quarters are a budget-friendly way of buying a minimal amount of fabric at the lowest price possible.

TOP TIP: Fat quarters measure approximately 50cm x 56cm and are the ideal size for gift-wrapping small presents. Wrapping presents with fabric is eco-friendly as it doesn’t waste paper, and the fat quarter can be reused by the recipient to wrap another gift.

Cheap Fat Quarter Bundles

A fat quarter bundle is a collection of fat quarters that are sold as a set. There are numerous reasons to buy fat quarter bundles but the best reason is convenience as fat quarter bundles provide you with a choice of coordinating fabrics to sew with, without having to invest in larger cuts of fabric.

TOP TIP: The fabrics in a fat quarter bundle have been paired together due to their coordinating colours and prints, so if you find it difficult when matching fabrics consider buying a fat quarter bundle as all the hard choices have already been made for you.

Cheap Cotton-Linen Canvas Fabric

Cotton-linen canvas fabric is a blend of cotton and linen fibres. This combines the softness and breathability of cotton with the durability and texture of linen, resulting in a heavier-weight fabric that is both strong and comfortable. Understandably, cotton-linen canvas fabric is more expensive than 100% cotton fabric, so it’s always advantageous to buy cheap canvas fabric in a fabric sale.

TOP TIP: Cotton-linen canvas fabric is great for upholstery, home decor and fashion accessories. Follow our tutorial to learn how to make your own DIY weighted doorstop with cotton-linen canvas.

Conclusion

Shopping for sale fabric is the best way to enjoy your hobby while also saving money. Whether you're a quilter, dressmaker, or upholstery enthusiast, there are plenty of options for buying cheap fabric online. From cotton-linen canvas material to modern designer fabric discounts, there's something for every budget and style.
