What is the best way to mail a fat quarter? Can it just go in an envelope or do I need some other type of package? Thanks for your help.

Just pop it in whatever envelope it will fit.

I put mine in a baggie and then let all the air out and stick it in a business size envelope. Just make sure you don't use a baggie with a thick zipper, they break thru the envelope.

You would need to take a look at http://www.USPS.com website & check the requirements & weight limits for 1st Class Mail. I know they would call it "non-machinable" & there is an extra charge for that.

It needs to be less than 1/4" thick to go through their machines :wink: or you pay the additonal to have it hand stamped :D:D:D

Thank you for your quick replies. My brain is just not working at its normal level tonight so I just wanted to make sure I do it right. Should of mailed this about a week ago.

I place mine in a ziploc bag, then a small manila envelope.

I use those 5x7 envelops, and in a baggie first!
