Online ordering question
I received an email from Piercing the Past Quilts and they have a deal...well at least I think it's a deal for a monthly fat quarter club in civil war fabrics . Price is about $3 per fat quarter. Since I don't have a stash of these types of fabrics, I thought this would be a good way to start. But.....I am wondering about the quality of the fabric. Has anyone ordered from this site?
thanks

I have never gotten fabric from them but participate in their free block of the week. The last few quilts have been a combination of applique and piecing. Prior to that it was just piecing. They have a FaceBook page and are very responsive to questions. If their fabric is anything like the service they give to the block of the week questions I wouldn't hesitate. I haven't purchased fabric from them because I already had more than enough fabric to start with.

$3 a fat quarter equals $12 per yard for fabric. This does not seem like a deal to me. Also, if you have to pay shipping (even with USPS) that makes it a silly price. The new premium quilt vintage and retro fabrics at Joanns are around $12.99 per yard - using a coupon or when on sale is a much better deal.

When you add shipping, that's close to $4 per FQ. I've often wondered if clubs like these use the club to get rid of their poorer-selling fabrics. I once signed up for FQ from Keepsake Quilting, and they were the ugliest fabrics I'd ever seen. Needless to say, I canceled membership immediately.
