I am new to quilting and found this very interesting fabric called Australian aboriginal fabric by M&S Textiles that I would like to use in quilt. Has anyone used products by M&S previously and is it a good product? Thank you

If you do not want to pay shipping from AU, try this site http://www.intfab.com/index.html I have ordered from them for years. Great service and unusual fabrics. Under the categories section is "Australia" and there are some aboriginal prints, and lots of other countries too- |

It's beautiful fabric and has a great feel. It's very easy to work with, and blends wonderfully with batiks.
It used to be a bit hard to get in the US - only at big shows at some specialty vendors. A vendor called Leo99 was one of the first to introduce it about a decade ago. Over the last few years it's been readily available at a few shops in the US. eQuilter sometimes gets batches in (I don't see any now, though). But here's a great selection at some of my favorite shops: http://www.cottonclub.com/cgi-bin/St...oduct=Imp_aust http://www.fabricshack.com/cgi-bin/S...#mstextiles100 http://www.mountainviewquiltshoppe.c...pid=1#10014040 Prices are the same as other LQS cottons. Sometimes a shop will put a premium on them. Use them in the quilts or any sewing - I recommend them without hesitation. The prints are gorgeous. eta: for some reason when I went to check the links they weren't clicking through to the sites. Maybe they're updating or the servers are someplace where the electricity went out due to the storm. But they "should" be good links. |
Hi yes I can guarantee this fabric as I am using the same one at the moment...Making a bag for my girlfriend in Balstrop,Texas USA.
And have used it a lot in other things when finished it is awesome....use with confidence. :thumbup: ;) :-D |
