Buying fabric on line

Their website is definitely not 'just looking' friendly. 20, 30 pages is
just too much to scroll through. Their catalog is yummy, though.

Howdy!

Everything I've found in the Keepsake Quilting catalog I've ordered
online.
The site isn't as maneuverable as the catalog but the merchandise is all
there. g Only problem I've ever had w/ KQ was when they didn't
include a packing/shipping list when a gift item was included in the
shipment, but they fixed that by sending me a receipt/list.
(Just because there's one gift item doesn't mean they should omit the
entire packing list.) Fast service, well-packed items, and they include
laundry instructions.

Other online shops w/ good service:

--esp. helpful when I needed more of a "J.B. palette" fabric;
great service

--sent me the exact color of shot cotton when I called to ask,
very nice guy on the phone, had the fabric in 2 days

--John never advertises here and he doesn't jump in w/ the helpful,
"Oh, WE have that!" as some merchants have done. He can count on us to
promote V.Q.'s good service and quality products.

The only shops I've had any serious problems w/ are Han-of-Pad
which has already been bitched about plenty (deservedly) and
Quilts & Other Comforts, the one assoc. w/ Qltrs.Newslttr Mag--
never, ever, ever got everything I ordered, always something "off"
about the order, color, quantity, etc, and sending me a
cheap tote bag w/ their logo on it didn't improve the matter. g
But Q.O.C. doesn't blame the customer for merchant screw-ups as
SOME shops will do. VBG
Lots of Good shops out there.

Speaking of buying fabric online --- I am so disappointed with the online
Keepsake Quilting! I love the printed catalog because it's always packed
full of great stuff, and gives me so many ideas. I even save them for
that
reason.

But their website is a sad copy, IMHO.
