I give and receive on freecycle.
When I first started last year a lady said she had about 25 pounds of quilting cotton thqat she needed to destash. I jumped right on it and went right out.
She had her son put it in my trunk for me. Imagine the surprise and excitement at getting about 200 pounds of fabric. All quilt shop quality. As I was also a new quilter with no stash I was doing a happy dance.
The next week I got a steam presser that had never even been out of box. She included things on felting and all equipment, patterns and roving.
Yes it works and I love it.
