Thousand of Bolts
 
I saw where this fabric company has Batik fabric for $6.95 per yard.
I am wondering if I could get some input from you on the company
and the quality of their fabric. Thank you

I like thousands of bolts. The batiks I have bought have been good quality. I have also bought other fabrics as well and have been pleased with it. Shipping is timely as well.. I have ordered from them numerous times and have never had a problem.

I buy from them a lot. Just got a shipment yesterday. There fabrics are good quality and I've never had any problems with service. They email when the order is received and when it's filled and shipped with a link so you can track the package.

I myself have not ordered from them but have read nothing but good reviews.

Everything I have gotten from them has been great.

They are awesome! First quality fabrics, quick shipping. The fabrics are not the newest collections, and they don't usually have an entire collection. I am guessing that is why the prices are so great. I have never had a problem with any orders.

The owner is keeping quilting affordable. The regular prices are half what other shops charge and when on sale
the bargains are hard to beat. Plus these are first quality fabrics.
That's probably why she jokes that when you see the prices you will agree that there are thousands of bolts with only one nut!! Go for it. -Judy

I buy most of my fabric there. My kids give me a gift card every year for Christmas and my birthday, and they keep asking is I want it from somewhere else. Nope....i like the fabric, I like the price, and they are super speedy with the delivery. So you can't beat shopping there.

They use first quality batiks. I have bought from them and had no problems.

Emma S 02-13-2015 04:31 PM

All I can say is ditto. Been purchasing from them for years, never a problem.

I just ordered fabric from them and have in the past. No problems, top quality fabric, and fantastic prices. I love this company.

I love Thousands of Bolts! Last week I placed an order...I received a nice phone call when my fabric was being cut. They said one 3 yard piece I ordered was actually a one yard and two yard piece. They wanted to know if I would be ok with this. I was fine with it and told him I appreciated his call. Their fabric is nice and cut straight too. I am waiting for my Batiks today. I have ordered them before and was very happy.

With a local store I placed a large online order and three of the fabrics were not shipped and one of the fabrics was in two pieces. They didn't bother contacting me. I complained and they at least did give me the option of free return shipping....but I would have preferred a phone call before shipping.

Thousands of Bolts is a great company. There's also Marshall's Dry Goods, that has great fabric and customer service.

I buy from this store all the time. I bought Batiks for Bonnie Hunts last mystery and they are great. They carry name brand fabric only and the prices area cheaper than most stores

PERSONALLY, I would never again order anything from Thousands of Bolts.

I ordered extra wide backing fabric at what was not a huge discount ( $15.99 per yard) and when it arrived, it was so stiff from all of the sizing added, and so thin you could see your hand right through it (Did I mention that it was a dark navy blue color?).

I called their customer service - because I had been led to believe that their fabric was comparable to what I would find in my LQS.....maybe not QUITE that great, but almost.........and I could not believe what I was told......no I could not return the fabric, and what did I expect? This was discount fabric, and I should not have expected LQS quality.........

I took the fabric to my guild, thinking someone might have SOME use for it - and NO TAKERS......the quality was just that poor.......I know others have been satisfied with what they purchased - but I will not buy from them again......
