How to find desired Fabric over the Internet?

[PineCone]

Hi:
I've been looking for good, sturdy flannel fabric over the Internet. Although there are many Faric Stores here, Internet-site, ... it's NOT easy for me to determine desired flannel material, paricularly color, because I need to rely on its Photoes that sellers posting.

I need mid range of Blue-colored Flannel with good quality/material, even though it might cost me quite a bit.

My question is;
How to find desired color and quality of Fabric ONLY relying on Photes on the web-sites that sellers posting?

I'd truly appreciate it if some of you would share similar experience like mine and how to suceed it.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, there is no way except to order a sample. Most online fabric stores and/or sellers (Ebay) will send a sample for a small fee. That's the only way.
If you have any fabric stores near you, that's probably the best route.
