If it will just sit on your shelf it wouldn't have been a bargain if it had been free. I know I am in a minority here.

Sorry I can not give you that advice, but I can say only buy the fabric that you can use in a quilt you have on your to do list.

I think of it as stocking up for retirement !.....Happy Shopping !

Well Brenda, if you can afford the purchases I say "GO FOR IT". I really don't think anyone on this board would tell you not to go. How often are any of us able to purchase anything at 75% off? That said, If you can't afford it or feel guilty about spending the money, then the sale isn't worth it. This is something that only you can decide. Good luck in what ever you end up doing. If you do purchase anything be sure to show us, then I can just forget about the last letter in your avatar and think that it's me loving all the new goodies. BrendaK

Why would you not want to get the great bargains? I would personally take out a loan!

Wish I were closer too!! My first job was at a Fabricland (the beginning of my addiction -- I still have a couple pieces from that time -- the 100% cottons come in handy for quilting). I knew they were a chain, but didn't realize they were so widespread. Our supervisors came in from St. Louis. Have a great time buying what you can. Show us pics if you can so we can oooh and aaah over it!

I'm afraid I can't help you, if you have the money - get the fabric. I try to buy basics, neutrals and fabric for backings when I spot a sale, especially 75% off. I'm still using fabric I bought at $2.99 from clearance at a LQS, I bought enough for backings, even though a couple fabrics decided they wanted center stage on the front. LOL. If I had the money, I'd be right there with you, especially neutrals, as I always seem to run out of them, then can't find anything on sale. Give yourself a Christmas present from your "Quilting Santa".

Only buy what you can afford. I am a compulsive sale buyer and heaven help me, I buy faster than I can create!!!! Step back from the fabric, lady, and you won't get hurt!!!! Put the fabric down!!!! (hahaha)

You've posted to the wrong board if you want dis​couragement!

Those are prices you NEVER find. Heck, I'd be buying all I could carry too. Think how much money you're saving in the long run. That's what I always tell my hubby, "Look how much money I'm saving you!!!" That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

If it's in your budget give yourself a Christmas present and have fun buying fabric:) I always feel so good when I can buy fabric for less than 20% off. Merry Christmas.

I agree with those that told you to go for it..especially with the prices for fabric so high in Canada. Consider it a gift to yourself!

I bet you will find over half this board shopping with you!! LOL

Fast forward a few years to where you have actually used it all as planned. Be honest!

Sorry, no help here. I just had to get that pink I needed to finish a project and I had a coupon. How could I not go? LOL

I'd look at some of the fixtures also if they are selling them. Sometimes you can pick up great storage or cutting pieces....anyway, go for it!

OMG, I would probably be there every day. My LQS has a big SuperBowl sale every year and knowning I don't need anything I can't resist the temptation to go. I have more fat quarters than I will ever need so this year I'm going to try and stay away from the fat quarters. If you empty a bolt it's an extra 25% off and most of them have less than 4 yards on them and are really good buys so those are the ones I will look for this year. I have been testing my self to see if I can not buy anything and so far I haven't. So I will save up for that sale. Go got it and stop buying another time. Fabric seems to keep going up anyway so while it on sale you must buy.

OK - I haven't read through all of the posts - but I am going to gues that nobody has been a big help to you. Not me either! I would especially look for yardage for backing in colors that I know I am going to be making a quilt in. One of our shops has a huge end of year sale and that is what I normally look for - something that would make a good back and possibly even borders for a quilt. I have to say that I have been pretty successful in using those or selling to one of my buddies for a backing. With fabric going up so high I say with 75% off get what you can afford and like.

I have the same addiction so would not be very helpful. Good luck and HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!

Gee if it were closer, I think a bus load of us would be heading there.75% is as good as it gets for we quilters up here in Canada. Sounds like you can't afford not to shop, lol.

oh, buy all means buy.

How I do admire your willpower to go on a "fabric buying diet"! Maybe that's what I should do...then I could quilt more, ya think?! :) :)

Well, I shopped often right up to the last day!!

The sales went up to 75% off everything in the store until the last day. On the last day my DH and I had alot of running around to do and when we were done everything I thought we were just going back home. To my surprise my DH drove me to Fabricland store and said "take your time" The last houra of the atore being open the sales were anything up to regualar price of $16.00 was now $1.00 a meter and everything over that price was only $2.00 a meter!!!

JACKPOT'!!!!!!!!! Nothing like buying $22.00 meter material for $2.00! I think my Dh was still surprised at how conservative I was in my selections but just didn't want to get material that I wouldn't use.

I'm all set for the next year now!!

Hahaha it seems everybody (sorry me included) says GO FOR IT. Opportunities like this may never come again

Your DH is a lovely fellow - give him a hug for me. And congrats on your savings - what a deal!!

SHOP NOW. Wholesale prices are going up. Sorry the business is closing.

The best bargain I have had this christmas/new year was fabric for $5 per metre and fat quarters for $1 here in Australia that is pretty good! Boy would I love to get to your US sales stores then it would cost me as much to ship it home lol. Maybe I could hire a container :p
