About Fabric.com
Fabric.com was a large online fabric retailer offering an extensive selection of fabrics for sewing, quilting, crafting, and home décor projects. Acquired by Amazon in 2008, the site carried thousands of fabric options including quilting cotton, knit fabric, upholstery fabric, fleece, lace, and specialty materials from major manufacturers.
The site was valued by home sewers, quilters, and crafters for its vast selection, competitive pricing (often 20–40% below local fabric store pricing), and convenient home delivery. Amazon's logistics infrastructure made fabric shopping more accessible to sewers in areas without good local fabric stores.
Amazon shut down Fabric.com in 2019 despite the site's popularity, citing business focus decisions. Former customers have found alternatives at JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores (online and in-store), Missouri Star Quilt Company (quilting fabrics), and Mood Fabrics for fashion sewing fabrics.
