Try Craigslist.com. Register and post for wanted cheap or "free" fabric. All these ads are for your local community. You choose where they are to be posted. Then meet in a public place to do your transaction. Sometimes the local newspaper will have a free classified section. I've already done a posting for free material for the church for our quilts we send to World Relief Fund and got 4 responses.

If I was you I'd try freecycle in your county. look up freecycle on Google. People give away items they no longer want. Or you can put in a request for fabric scraps someone doesn't want just like you did here. I'm going through mine now to give away. Too bad your not close by I'd gladly help you out.

I am looking for a place that will give free fabric samples. I work with preschool children and would use fabric with the children's projects. Any ideas of where to get free samples? I tried asking at a fabric store, but they wanted to sell me small scraps.

How do you get fabric samples? Does any one know? Any kind of fabric is acceptable to me. The material can be any kind, cotton, blends, silk, suede, chenille, etc. I would like to find samples larger than the tiny fabric swatches that are 3x3 inches or so. Thanks for your help in advance.

Contact local furniture stores. They often give away discontinued upholstery fabric samples. (08/11/2010)

There is a woman in this same newsletter, just below your posting, and she has bins of fabric she is looking to donate. Contact her! (08/12/2010)
