Have you ever bought a full bolt?

Full bolts of Muslin? I use bleached & unbleached in my piecing or for borders and I get the wide widths for backings. I buy it by the bolt @ JoAnn's with a 50% coupon. I only get the Kona Muslin though. It is nice! :thumbup:

Have bought Full bolts of Kona muslin, for backs and to have extra on hand. I load it on my mid arm and is just easier that way, I'm also rural W/no shop nearby, always use a coupon 40-50%off, Did buy somthing else once and realized when I began loading it there were 2 splices, yes it went back to the store, they were nice enough to take care of the problem.

Yes, (early before I really was into quilting) "insisted I wanted a bolt of muslin for a Catheral Windows that I 'just' had to make". Never did get it made. I think my quilt shop realized I was just a little to anxious back then. I did finally get it. Never did get the Catheral Windows quilt made. BUT, I'm glad I have it, I've used the fabric now and glad to have the bolt.

I have purchased several bolts-mostly muslin, and tone on tones which I use for backing and background for applique. I always buy when I have a 40-50% coupon(mostly at Joann's. You'd be surprised how much use you get from a bolt of say, light green tone on tone, besides just backing for a quilt. I have purchased 108" wide muslin as well with the coupon. I even bought a whole box (roll) of fusible web (75 yards) with a 50% off coupon, which I have so far used about 3/4 of. As there are always coupons available at least monthly (at least, at Joann's) and sometimes mail order at Hancock's.com, I can't see paying full price for them. It basically gives you 1/2 of a bolt for FREE!
