The acquisition of the online fabric store will enable Fabric.com to expand its selection of fabrics and accessories while enabling Amazon.com to offer its customers a wider variety of products in the
sewing, craft and hobby segment, per the companies.
Launched in 1999 by Stephen Friedman, Fabric.com has developed a customer base of sewing enthusiasts, and offers a comprehensive line of
fabrics in all three major fabric categories, including apparel, quilting and home décor.--Nina M. Lentini
