Question about Thousands of Bolts website
I know I could write to them, and they'd answer me, but just thought someone here, who was on line anyways, might know:
I can't find anywhere on the site where it says how wide the fabric is, unless it's the extra wide.
Am I just not seeing something that's in plain view?
For instance http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/inde...displaycount=9

I've ordered from them a lot, and if the pieces are WIDE, they say so in the pictures. I'm usually looking at end cuts, ie; 15" x WOF. Those are usually 42" - 44". You get more fabric with an end cut than a fat quarter for almost the same price. My quilts are usually scrappy, or groups of scraps of one color, so the end cuts work out well.

since they sell name brand manufacturers/fabrics, i would think the widths would be somewhere between 42"-44". i order from them a lot and have gotten a lot of stonehenge or bali/hoffman batiks end of bolt pieces. today even if a fabric should measure a good 45" wof, it is not 45" of usable fabric due to the manufacturer's marking in the selvage. the selvages can take up at least 2" of fabric if not more.
i think the standard usable today is around 42".
