    I have ordered from Burkholder several times. They provide a generous cut, shipping is least costly method (depending I what I got it was USPS or UPS), and it is quick.

    Thanks for the feedback on this place. My sister wants to order some fabric that they carry and was wondering about them.

    Thank you! That's my 5 year old Golden Retriever, Henry. He's a sweetie, for sure, and a bit of a goof. Love him to bits!

    Before I order from a "new to me" shop, I usually find something to ask them in an email. If I get a quick reply, I'm willing to take the chance on an order. If they are very slow or don't respond,I don't order from them. Most places are good, but once in awhile, you will find one has gone out of business, but the website is still up.

    I just ordered from Burkholders Fabric as they are having a Memorial sale: 25% off!!! till May 31.
    I send an e-mail to them as switzerland was not listed in their mailing adress and received answer right away. They asked for patience, it would be added within three hours.
    And I got a new e-mail as soon as it was and they answered also other questions.
    I am very pleased so far, great customer service.

    I've ordered from Burkholder. Sometime they will carry more fabrics of a collection that the other quilt shops do not have. Always extra on their yardage, a good company to deal with.
