I don't believe they have thought this one through..Why would I want to take a piece of fabric that I might have paid $8.00 per yd and get $2.00 credit toward another sale from them. If they just sent out $2.00 coupons I think they might do better. As for the unwanted fabric someone, somewhere is looking for that very fabric!

If you bought some of the 25 cent a yard fabric when Walmart was taking out their fabric departments or have some that you bought on a garage sale, or even have some poly/cotton it just might be worth it. I can't imagine taking decent fabric in.

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

[quote=sew cornieI got the same postcard this week. I think it also said you could exchange your unwanted cut for someone else's unwanted cut. .[/quote]
Hmmm. I'll need to look at it again. Uh Oh. Recycled already. I read it out loud to my husband to see what his take on it was. I didn't get that, but you might be right. It's still a strange way to get people into the store.

back to the topic. if it's a chance to trade with others, it would probably turn out to be a blast. can you imagine all the laughter over the different fabs people brought? or the ecstatic joy when somebody finds a fab they've been searching for high and low?
if they seriously want you to give them a yard or more of fabric for a lousy $2 discount on ridiculously expensive fabric ... well ... then i guess they figured out a new way to spell "sucker". :lol:
