Wouldn't it be better to either throw it in (assures customer satisfaction and repeat business) or offer a big discount?

Unfortunately, no "end of bolt" discount at my LQS. They do have a table of $4 and $6 fabrics, which seem to always be the same. Also have a stamp card (no sale stuff credited). Spend $250...$25 GC. Wish they would come up with some exciting promotions...As if I need any more reasons to shop there!

i have a quilt store near me that takes off $1 per yard if you finish a bolt out of the sale room....so i always look there for skinny bolts...i wish more of my quilt stores offered some kind of deal......gina

One time, there was an offer: $10 per bolt, regardless of how much was left on it...needless to say, I bought stacks(of the thicker bolts). I did resist some Debbie Mumm which had penguins on them as I couldn't see myself using it. However, stack and whack may have changed the look...

Handcocks and Hobby Lobby do not, but my local JoAnns does. (With the exception of one cutter who has strange rules - perhaps from another location. I'll "remember" something else if she calls my number. Anything less than a yard is a remnant, and is sold for 50% off. If it is on sale, the sale price applies too. Then, with my 15% teacher discount . . . Oh Yeah Baby! I don't darken the doors of one of the LQS, the other - I get guild pricing, and have never found a partial bolt that I wanted. Guess someone beats me to them.

My LQS does a last business day of month end-of-bolt sale (20% disc.); maintains a table of bolts of fabric @ 20% discount all the time; has a New Year's Day FQ Frenzy (20 FQ's for $30 - and they cut FQ's from every bolt of fabric in the store). We get a $20 shopping spree when we turn in $200 worth of receipts (can't use tax or class fees as part of the $200 spent total. Then they usually come up with different specials every month. Love their BOM - $15 sign up fee which also gives you the pattern and fabric for your first block. The blocks (pattern & fabrics) for subsequent months are free as long as you personally bring the previous months block in for show and tell. If you miss going in or haven't brought your block - you will have to pay $5 for that month's block. Have been going to this LQS since they opened and doing my best to help them stay in business! They're like family!
