    I'd go and take a look at the Fab Shop Hop. They list out online stores (and you can win free stuff!). Since joining I have found a NUMBER of new online favorites. Lots with discounts monthly, too! Good luck

    I love fabric.com. I redid my house by the beach and found so many prints (at very reasonable prices) to go with my plan. Even more important, I was short one fabric and quickly reordered. And, in my haste, I ordered a slightly different shade - to many beachy aquas! They were great when I called them. They immediately sent the correct one and told me to return the wrong cut for a refund. I thanked them for the offer but, of course, kept the wrong cut for a future project! We never know when we would need it! I have also purchased cotton for quilts. I only get it on sale and usually just my focus fabric, but, always can find a unique print for a special quilt.

    I've used local discounted fabric outlets for home dec fabric in my last 2 houses. I bought drapery weight chintz for a few dollars a yard. I've also bought on sale fabrics from the now deceased Hancock fabrics and from Joann's fabrics and done well.

    I guess it depends on what you want. I have never found that I could buy lined draperies for less than I could make them. I don't like pinch pleats so I don't worry about doing that. With buying discounted fabrics and linings I've been able to make floor to ceiling drapes for 2 different houses for a fraction of what I could buy them for. Curtains might be different. I dont' have curtains anymore, just blinds or shades.

    I have always found Connecting Threads' fabric to be reasonably priced and very good quality.

    Hobby Lobby has beautiful drapery fabrics at a good price. If you want the pleated look without the hard work you can buy a tape to sew on the back that has the holes for the hooks and when the hooks are inserted it makes the pleats for you without all the work.
