I totally agree - If they have a "clue" or easily found I spend lots of time looking at patterns, sale fabric and Block of the Month. If I have to spend lots of time in a detailed search - I leave as soon as I find it.

What really irritated me this time were the errors. Two sites gave incorrect clues, Dillengers link was incorrect (I had to google it to get to the site) and many sites loaded so poorly or their internal links did not work (I was a math/computer science teacher before I retired two years ago any one of my things that kids were marked down on were buttons and links that did not work ) :roll: :roll:

Ugh!!! This is NOT good .... the more shops I visit, the more I want to buy!! My tax refund just made it into my bank account. I've found some great bargains.

I've won 4 $10 gift certificates from the FabShopHops. I haven't had a lot of time to hop this time so I have only found around 25 bunnies so far. I better get busy.

I just want to spread the word about these guys. I also see their shop in not on this months hop.
I got a $10 GC from fabricdreams.com...I was looking to get 1yd of fabric for $9.00 :roll: :roll: :roll: their shipping charge is $8.00...:x :x :x
I emailed them, I guess they need my business so it was offered at $3.00 for parcel post LOL
We all know that first class mail is packages/envelopes that are up to 13ozs @ 42 cents per oz. http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendm...tclassmail.htm

There is no way 1 yd of fabric weighs more than 13ozs

I'm glad I got that off my chest...WHEW!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I working through them...I did win a $10 GC last time..so its fun..Of course yes, I did spend more than that when I redeemed it (which is exactly what they wanted me to do) You know..shipping is SO high..you have to make it worth your while to pay the shipping. I didn't think about arguing with them and having them reduce the shipping- thats a good thought Fancy. They will always charge too much if they can get away with it I guess.

If I can't find it after a long time, I get frustrated and e-mail them for a hint. I just can't wade through the mass pf pages at some of the huge sites. I won a ten dollar gift certificate there once, and if you look through the old posts, there were some second place winners on the board.

I think the first few I did, there was a rule that it could be no more than six clicks from the frnot page, but now some are just buried.
