I just found out that www.kaboodles.com is having a going out of business sale.
Most fabric is $2/yd.
I have ordered from them before. Fabric was wonderful and they are very fast.
I just placed an order and for 7 yds of fabric I paid $19 and that includes shipping.

I love a sale...but I can't get that webpage to come up. :cry:

Thanks. The site is down right now-maybe they're doing some updating.

it says the site is down for repairs and will be back up at 1:50 CST - so thats give a few minutes from now.


so many online shops are closing down too with this economy. its no longer limited to LQS.

gale 10-02-2010 10:51 AM

Darn. it's 1:50 cst but it's still down. I guess I'll try later.

gale 10-02-2010 10:52 AM

It's up! Kinda slow for me right now.

gale 10-02-2010 10:58 AM

Is anyone else having trouble? Every time I click a link it pops up the type of window that normally pops up when you download a file.

edit-now I'm getting the site down message again.

maybe they are having too many hits at once and their system cant keep up..

gale 10-02-2010 11:03 AM

We killed it.

gale 10-02-2010 11:23 AM

I didn't get a lot. About 5 yds and 25 fq for less than $30 shipped. I am not supposed to be buying any but I couldn't pass this up.

They said they were down because of the high volume but they're back up now.

Yes, me too. I put some material in the "cart" but trying to go to check out gives me a "save as" screen. I think they are overloaded with orders. :)

It seems to be working fine now. I was able to place a small order.

gale 10-03-2010 08:17 PM

I got an email today-my shipping which showed $5.00 before is now $10.20. Bummer. It says clearance items ship at actual cost and can understand that but I didn't see that on the website (but I didn't look for it either-I never heard of shipping being higher like this).

susiequilt 10-04-2010 04:31 AM

Mine still says $5 but since it's about 6.5 yards it might go up. Another site says 6 yds in the small flat rate mailer so mine might go up also. I hate the thought of another $5 for 1/2 yd but for that cost it's OK.
They were out of the one fabric I really wanted which I kind of expected it. $2 a yard is great for the others.

I got an email also saying that my order was complete. Still only $5 shipping and I ordered 8 yrds.

gale 10-04-2010 12:17 PM

I did get 5 yds plus 25 fq which comes out to about 11+ yards total so I guess that wouldn't fit into a flat rate mailer. lol

susiequilt 10-06-2010 08:18 AM

I received my fabric today and it is wonderful!
Wish I had ordered more before it was gone.
It was $18 total for 6.5 yards.

rndelling 10-06-2010 08:45 AM

Mine came today. Beautiful fabric. Hate to see them go out of business as I'm always pleased with the fabric I've gotten from them.

np3 10-06-2010 02:46 PM

They will be adding more fabrics and reopen on the 16th until they are sold out. She still has remnants and miscuts so it might be worth checking again.

susiequilt 10-07-2010 09:50 AM

No! No!
You don't want to check it out at least not until after 2 pm EST when I get home!
Darn I bet it'll all be gone when I get there unless she opens it about 5 am!
:-D
