Hi All :
I am opening my Web store soon, (its only been a year in the making) I would like to know how to sell my fabric efficiently. Should I sell it in 1 yard, 2 yard, fat quarters etc. Interested in what your thoughts are. Thanks for your help!

make coordinating packets if you want to cut up the fabric and patterns

FatQ's sell in color or theme coordinated packs(5 or 6 per pack)

3 yds if selling one single fabric

Lots of options are best in my opinion. Also kits and fabric packs are helpful. I'm not so good at picking fabrics so alot of times I buy packs and kits.
Can't wait to see your new site. That is exciting.
Congratulations.

I would cut as people order it, some might want much more than your precuts

I would say offer yards, then offer some coordinated bundles, either 1/2 yards or FQ together. I don't know what the market is for FQ A la Carte, you know?

Please, please, please whatever you do...DON'T price and sell by the half-yard. OF course if you want to sell in half-yard increments, by all means do so...but that is my LEAST favorite tactic to put in big bold letters "$4.99!!!" and then in teeny-tiny print "per half yard".
