I would focus on batting or fabric only because of the weight and free shipping.

So what would you stock up on? A roll of batting? A full bolt of fabric? Would you buy versatile solids (Kona snow or cream, jet black, ash? ) Or would you buy a whole bolt of a fabulous print? Threads?

I'm enjoying the idea, but when it comes right down to committing to a big order, I find myself stalling. Inspire me, please.

i have plenty of fabric but I can always use batting so I would buy a roll of cotton/wool batting and store it under the spare bed while I finish with what I have the start on the new roll. It is not easy for my to buy rolls of batting as they can be expensive to but and harder to store out of the way. Especially if I have visitors all the time.

I'd buy tools I lust after that rarely go on sale,like; specialty rulers/templates, rotating mat, books, etc. I'd also stock up on African Fabric which is rarely on sale.
I notice many of you would buy batting. In my area, batting is frequently on sale (50%)and I always wait for the sale.

At wholesale with no shipping I would buy a new Cadillac. I already have plenty of quilting supplies.

What did you decide to order?

I know how hard it is to make a big purchase just because it's a good deal. It's hard to do the final step and actually buy.

I'd buy the things that normally would cost me the most and that I'd use alot of. Eventually what ever you buy you'll have to restock so get as much of a deal as possible now.
