OT sort of -- Anybody ever purchase from Thousands of Bolts?

I don't think I have ever ordered from Thousand of Bolts, but I sure visit them a lot! How's the service? The prices look great. And the fabrics are all LQS quality names. But are the fabrics those seconds or not-so-good runs?

I'm making myself a small (yeah, right!) database of my favorite online quilt shops with a few notes to go with each one. Kind of like what the FabShop Hop does for me but with a little more detail.

I have purchased from them in the past and the quality is reasonable. However I wanted to order from them a couple of weeks ago , but the handling/shipping was a lot more expensive than most others I have bought from, so I did nt go ahead this time. Of course mine is international so maybe that makes a difference. HTH

I've ordered from them. Generally, everything was okay. There was a flaw in one of the fabrics but we can suppose that I was being very cautious and 'any' fabric could have a flaw. Polly

I bought a kit from a local store, went to make it a year later and found they'd shorted me 3/4 of a yard of fabric. It was an SSI. Found the fabric on their site and ordered it plus backing fabric from the same line at a very reasonable price. I thought there shipping was reasonable too. It came in 3 days. That was my only experience, but I've got to say it was a good one.

I'm glad you started this thread, Kay. I've been eyeing their website myself. :-)

Thanks for the info. I think I'll try them out after my next payday.

We have one of those sewing/embroidery/quilting expos in town in a couple of weeks. I'll probably spend money there too, especially since the venue has changed and we don't have to pay for parking now.
