Just remember, the classifieds is to help, not run a business. I just looked thru your posts, and your very first post was asking how to sell fabric.
Good luck! And welcome to the quiltingboard, glad to have you! :)
You are absolutely right and I never pretended otherwise. I found this board because I was looking for an old Ohio Quilt Forum I used to be on when I was quilting seriously. Now, when going through my huge stash that I need to clear out I remembered that board was one that people also sold their things on. However, once on this board I have found a renewed interest in fabric art (not particularly quilting, more in the area of art pieces and purses, so I still need to sell a lot of my stuff in order to have room to even work.) I see it as a win-win situation, I really need to clear it out and it gives others an opportunity to shop for some quality fabric at a reduced price. I reached the board requirements to sell as of three days ago but am not rushing to do so since I am not a seller of fabric but a fabric lover that wants to do it right for everyone (wanting to charge right and find the best way of shipping to keep the price in line for the buyer.) Actually, I wish I didn't have to do this whole thing; I think selling is a pain and each piece of fabric is still special to me (I think only quilters understand this.) But, it is what it is. I look into my 20x20 sewing room and it looks like one of those hoarder's television shows. Unfortunately, neither of my daughters can even thread a needle and don't want to. Anyway, just wanted to assure you that my intentions are not dishonorable. Everyone arrives here for some reason and mine just happened to be that I am buried in fabric. As everyone here has told me though, this is a great place. It feels like home.
