My lqs sent out a postcard where they were offering this: Bring in your orphaned one yard or more cuts of fabric to exchange for a $2 off coupon to be used in the purchase of one yard or more fabric from their store.

So let me get this straight: I bring in my fabric which they will buy from me for $2. Then I buy fabric from them for $10 and use the $2 coupon so that I only pay $8.

Why do I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick in this deal?

the other question is: What are they going to do with the fabric you take in?

sell it as fat quarters?
donate it? Where?

destroy it?
use it for the million pillow slips?

I can see where it would be nice though. If there is a fabric there that you really want, getting $2 off a yard is pretty good. Especially if you have fabric at home you know you will never use (why did I buy that again?? lol) I would imagine they are donating it somewhere, or making things to donate. I would contact the shop and ask some questions....

I would contact the shop and get more details

its an advertising gimic to get more traffic in their store,they know that everyone has a piece of fabris that they dont like or will never use,so they are using that to their advantage

If the collected fabric was going to a charity project I would probably participate, if not... I am not sure.....

LMAO!!! What a DEAL!!!! :lol: :lol:

If it were going to charity doesn't it seem like they would say so? Yes, I'm on board if there's a fabric I don't think I'll use, but I think I'd sell it somewhere else and probably get more for it. Or donate it to my guild for charity quilting. $2 seems a little stingy for one yard (or more) of fabric

It sounds like a good way to get rid of fabric that you'll never use. I have fabric that I bought many years ago, that I wonder now why I ever wanted it. I would like to get $2.00 a yard credit for it at a LQS.

It's not $2 per yard--It's $2 per cut. You'd do better cutting larger pieces into one yard cuts.
