I guess I wish that was somewhere on their website. As it is now, they are allowed to send whatever width it is, and that is very 'not me.'
well thousands of bolts (TOB) do not determine the widths of fabric they can only send you what wof the manufacturers make the fabrics in. i imagine if they even tried to put wof on their website, it would be a can of open worms as people would start measuring and asking for refunds if the widths weren't what was stated. and the truth is TOB has no control over wof.
the fact that TOB is selling name brand lqs quality fabrics is enough for me. i know what to expect in fabric quality before i receive my order. TOB prices on name brand fabrics is less expensive than you would spend in the lqs. their prices on stonehenge is about $9/yd but at my lqs it is $13/yd. I'm sold on TOB prices and service.
many of us sewing/quilting today know to expect our width of usable fabric to be between 40"-42" inches so it is not a surprise.
