The thought of it is overwhelming. Not quite sure where to start. I have probably 20 or so fabrics that are multi yardages still on the bolts. Maybe I'll start with those.

be sure to read the forum rules
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-651-1.htm User Titles User titles associated with accounts have the following structure: "new user" -- first two weeks after the registration. "a regular here" -- at least 20 posts during two weeks up to date (assigned/removed automatically). "community benefactor" -- outlined here. "top poster" -- a user with the highest number of posts. "moderator" -- users who help moderate the board. User accounts registered over two weeks ago (on any given day) but with less than 20 posts in the previous two weeks don't have any title associated with them. |
I look forward to seeing your fabrics posted on this site soon. Everyone is very encouraging and I think you will get closer to what your fabric is worth than if you sell at a yard sale. We appreciate a deal, but also know how much quality fabric costs! If possible, when you post it, include the information on the selvage so we know who made it, etc. Good luck to you.

Hi,
I am new here and have some questions. I was an avid quilter for 20+ years. Over the years, like many quilters, I became a fabric addict. In recent years I accumulated a huge stash and was involved with machine quilting. Now, I have not quilted for several years and have come to the realizaton that I probably won't begin quilting again. So, with encouragement (hounding) from my husband, I have decided to sell my stash. I have many rubbermaid tubs full of quilt shop quality fabric, all new. Not sure how to sell it. I'm having a garage sale next week and thought I would just put it in the sale but most people probably won't appreciate it. Is advertising on this site a good idea? And how is it best to do that (by the piece, etc)? I am in Ohio. Don't know if this is a national site or not. I know there used to be an Ohio quilt forum but can't find it now. I also have a large Grace quilting frame, never used. Got it just as I went into machine quilting. I really need to clean out the room I have this stuff in. Any ideas? I had even thought about cutting it into squares and selling on ebay. I did that with vintage chenille pieces last year and it sold well. Thanks for any tips. Linda |

we do have a thrift shop section here.

Look into sewitsforsale on groups.io. You have to join, but it's free. It will take some work to get top dollar for your fabric, but that group seems to sell a lot of sewing stuff. If you are looking for a bulk buyer, it might or might not be a good place to post it. It's worth looking into.
