Shes been selling for 2 yrs (over 7000 sales) & never had a neg - don't think you can beat that. Good luck

I have never purchased from this seller from ebay, but I have been to his store in Claremont, NH. Prices were INCREDIBLE!! The seller is a male, his father started FRank's Bargain Center about 30 years ago. His name is Phil and if you call him and ask about particular fabrics, he can usually tell you if he has it. If you buy 100 yards of various cottons, your choice of course, the price is $2.65 a yard. He is great about prompt shipping and always tries to find the most economical way of shipping. I drove there once from Maine. Sounds like it's close, but really wasn't. Long drive there and back, but prices were worth it. I would definitely buy from this seller. Prices are great and so is the service.

I've bought from him and he is great!

He tries very hard to give you what you want. He answers the phone, is a one man business. I was very satisfied and will buy from him again.

Frank's is awesome. The first time I bought from him, I was looking at a fat quarter homespun package to make a log cabin quilt. Phil answered the phone personally and asked what I was making. When I told him, he asked "would long quarters work better for you to make the strips for that?" I told him yes and they cut my order as long quarters rather than fat quarters for me at the same price. A beautiful selection of 75 different homespun fabrics at 63 cents per 1/4 yard! I have bought from him several times and several of my friends have bought from him and all of us have always been very happy. I always call him with my credit card. Pay Pal is NOT required to use E-bay.

1) I haven't purchased any fabrics at either WalMart of JoAnn's for about six months - so perhaps the quality has changed drastically in that time.

Prior to that, I have seen some cottons with "Exclusive Design for Jo-Ann stores" that seemed nice.

I have never seen any cottons with "Exclusive Design for WalMart Stores" (or something similar to that.)

I've purchased some VERY nice fabrics from WalMart stores in the past.


2) Another thing - it would be a lot more accurate to say "SOME fabrics purchased FROM ________ are not satisfactory to me"
rather making a sweeping statement that "ALL fabrics from ________ are unsatisfactory."

Saying "WalMart fabric" is about as accurate as saying "WalMart toasters"

I will concede that SOME of the very "cheap" fabrics that WalMart used to carry were quite awful.

One needs to be careful with words such as: all, none, always, never, every.

OK, I may have to consider this option!!! But tell me, how does one "find" these sites on e-bay. I know they have auctions, but that's about all I know about it. Just never dared take the leap and bid on anything, but at the fabric site you can just buy it right? No bidding or anything? Sometimes I feel rather inept when I consider how little I know of the computer world!

Prices are great and the feedback is good. Always check the feedback before you buy.

I haven't but have loved all the fabric I bought from there.

There are two different buying options: An auction, where you bid, or a BIN (Buy It Now) with a set price. If you bid, I recommend you use a proxy bidder like Auction Sniper to place your bid. It will bid in increments and will place your bid at the last minute so no one can come in with a higher bid. I love Auction Sniper.

I have bought from them and they are very nice and ship fast. The fabrics are really great. I talked to Frank when I did my first order and her was a really nice person.
