Very good rating but I've never bought, only b/c I like to choose my own fabrics.
Maybe I should re-think this though- prices are great and I could always gift something I didn't care for (if that happened)

They have very good feedback. I looked at their items and have found a few things that I just can't live my life without. (LOL)

WOW--that is alot of fabric. I wonder where they got it all?

I do most of my fabric buying on Ebay. I've never purchased from her, but the prices seem really good. Her feedback rating is good too.

I always read some of the feedback comments before I buy, even if they have a 100%.

If they don't mention who the fabric is by such as Moda I will send them a message and ask if it is Walmart and/or Joann quality because I don't want that.

So, just make sure all of your questions are answered and then start with a small purchase! :mrgreen:

Are the prices good?


I went to this site and am amazed at his inventory. He sells good brands and the prices seem to be very reasonable. The only thing I see wrong is that you can't pick out the print you want. If you are buying a selection I guess that doesn't matter. I did see some things that would have gone with my last quilt if I had seen it earlier.

I thought if you sold on E-Bay you HAVE to accept Pay-Pal. I can't see E-Bay letting you sell on their site and only collecting the listing fee and a portion of the sale. E-Bay owns Pal-Pal. They are going to get every cent they can.

I've looked at their listings before but haven't bought anything. Fabric seems to be great prices. I wondered about the PP issue, too. Thought you had to take PP to list on ebay!!

Seems like very good fabrics and very good pricing. No, I have not bought from them but I might the next time I have the money to buy.
Let us know if you do buy from there and what you think about it, please?
Good Luck

I LOVE Frank's! I've bought hundreds of fat quarters in assortments from him. Very fast service, reasonable shipping charges and you can't beat the prices.

You're usually going to get a couple of "stinkers" in any given assortment, but the prices are so low that you don't really mind.

I was particularly happy with the Civil War, Jinny Beyer, black and white assortments, but the assortments change all the time.

I've also bought a lot of muslin yardage from him - I use muslin for interlinings, pressing cloths, foundations and patterns.

You can call and order over the phone like we used to do in the "olden days" before secure servers and internet catalogs. :) Franks is terrific!
