Online Craft Stores for Quilters: Discovering a Wide Range of Fabrics and Notions Online
Looking for supplies for your next big quilting project? Whether you’re a seasoned pro or starting your journey, nothing beats having the right online craft stores so you can get all of the supplies you need as quickly as possible.
What supplies do I need for quilting?
Fabric
Fabric is the heart of quilting. It's what creates the magic. Quilters choose fabrics in vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and luxurious textures to bring their designs to life. The fabric is their canvas, where artistry meets creativity. It gives each quilt its unique personality and style.
Thread
Thread is the unsung hero of quilting. It holds everything together, stitch by stitch. With every seam sewn, it ensures the quilt stands strong over time. Thread may not steal the spotlight, but it plays a crucial role in preserving your masterpiece for years to come.
Batting
Batting adds warmth and closeness to your quilt - that snuggle factor we all crave. Depending on your choice of batting type and thickness, you can create a lightweight airy feel or a thick warm embrace with your quilt.
What are the most common kinds of quilting?
Hand quilting
Hand quilting involves stitching through the layers of a quilt (the top, batting, and backing) with a needle and thread. This traditional method allows for intricate and personalised designs.
Machine quilting
Machine quilting uses a sewing machine with a quilting foot to stitch through the layers of a quilt. It's faster than hand quilting and is often used for contemporary quilts. There are various machine quilting techniques, including free-motion quilting and straight-line quilting.
What kinds of tools and supplies can I get from Arbee for quilting?

We also stock embroidery hoops, if you have a design that goes beyond our kits.
Felt
We have a range of felt crafting items in stock to spark your creativity. Felt can be a great addition to quilting projects. You can use it for adding fun designs and textures to your quilts. Whether you need felt sheets, pre-cut shapes, or embroidery threads for working with felt, our selection is here to help you add a charming touch to your quilting creations.
Quilting hoops
We have quilting hoops available to help you with your projects. Quilting hoops are handy tools for keeping the fabric in place while you quilt. They consist of two rings that hold the layers of your quilt together. You put your quilt inside the inner ring, secure it with the outer ring, and then quilt through the layers, making sure everything stays smooth.
