Question
 
Has anyone bought fabrics from Thousands of Bolts? I'm thinking about putting in an order and wanted to know about quality of fabric, service, returns etc.

Thanks

Lynn

Sorry, I have never heard of them. Is it new do you know? I know that connecting threads is really good but hopefully someone knows of this place. Good luck.

I saw their ad in a quilting mag a long time ago, it seems like a couple of years. If they carry name brands I think they would be good. Maybe check them out with an order that you don't need quickly and see what their turn around time is and how their customer service is.

patricej 12-24-2011 06:58 AM

it's one of the first places i check when i'm shopping for fabric.

they carry a nice selection of name brands.
they deliver quickly.
great customer service.
good prices.

Ditto on what PatriceJ said I love them. Order there a lot. I'm on their mailing list. Be sure and sign up.

I have ordered from them once, no problems at all. Great place in my opinion

Annie68 12-24-2011 07:48 AM

I have purchased many times from them with very good results. Nice quality fabric.

mucky 12-24-2011 08:09 AM

Have a friend that orders from them all the time and is vry pleased.

JulieR 12-24-2011 08:16 AM

I've never ordered from them, but I've also never seen a bad review. Their customers always seem to love them!

QUILTNMO 12-24-2011 08:19 AM

lynndianne 12-24-2011 08:46 AM

Merry Christmas

I shop there frequently. They have quilt shop quality fabrics. They don't usually have the most recent collections, but for the money, it's a great place to shop. Shipping is quick and shipping costs reasonable.

glenda 12-24-2011 09:12 AM

Wow! You're trying to get me in trouble, aren't you? I'm trying to use my stash!

Candace 12-24-2011 09:38 AM

They carry LQS, quality fabrics and they have a good reputation.

I ordered from them once and the fabric was great however the shipping was extremely high.

nannyrick 12-24-2011 10:10 AM

Thanks for all the info. I,m going to give them a try.

ChaiQuilter 12-24-2011 08:43 PM

I ordered from them and had no problems. Plus, they ship by actual weight which can be cheaper depending on quantity ordered.

lenette 12-25-2011 07:08 AM

I've ordered from them and been very happy. I'm sure we can find bad stuff from anywhere, tho.

lizzyq 12-25-2011 07:16 AM

They have excellent quality name-brand fabric. If I need a fabric that has been out for six months or so, I'll look there to see if they have it. Of course, other fabric will call to me...well, you know how that is. With each fabric there is a link to the rest of what they have in that collection, and I also like the color matching feature. Shipping is prompt, and I've never had a problem at all with any order.

GwenLawson 12-26-2011 06:41 AM

I just went to the site and viewed the tutorials on using their Quilter's Toolbox. It looks like a very easy to use process. The only drawback seems to be that they make it VERY easy to order all the material that you need for the quilt. You just push one button to add it all to your order. Is it ever "too easy" to order material??? lol

Aurora 12-26-2011 06:53 AM

I just placed an order a couple of days ago and have ordered from them in the past. I have been very happy with their quality and service on previous orders. Found several fabrics I have been looking to purchase on sale.

Ginny B 12-26-2011 07:10 AM

I've seen them advertised in quilt magazines and wondered about them. Think I will go give a look see.

Wintersewer 12-26-2011 07:21 AM

I frequently order from them. The fabric is brand name first quality just the same as my LQS, only half price! I find the shipping high on just a few yards, so I try to place a large order rather than just a few yards.

A1penny 12-26-2011 07:22 AM

They are very reliable! I have used them many times!

KimS 12-26-2011 07:23 AM

I recently ordered some fabric from them and loved it. I like it because as soon as the site comes up their fabrics are organized on colors. I'm sure I'll go back again.

pocoellie 12-26-2011 07:47 AM

They have good fabric, and great service.

[QUOTE=lynndianne;4807438]Has anyone bought fabrics from Thousands of Bolts? I'm thinking about putting in an order and wanted to know about quality of fabric, service, returns etc.

I haven't read the entire thread yet. My experience with Thousands of Bolts was VERY POSITIVE! I purchase a lot of my fabric online. I'm always looking for bargains in named brands quilt shop quality fabrics, from online stores and heard from other forums that Thousands of Bolts were a great source for quality fabric. I purchased about 8 yards of one line of fabric in November.

1) It was a current line of fabric and the price was about 50% off every other site I searched for this line.
2) The fabric was here within 5 business days and their shipping costs were very fair.
3) All the cuts were accurately cut with most generously cut 38"
4) I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from this online retailer

The only negative I have is that their site is somewhat difficult to learn to navigate.

omaluvs2quilt 12-26-2011 10:12 AM

I have also ordered from them with no problems at all, good quality fabric!

skate 12-26-2011 11:27 AM

I actually met the owners last year at the Market in Houston. They are really nice people, and carry a lot of the same fabrics I carry in my quilt shop. Their prices are (I believe) lower than many other places, but with still good quality.

Tink's Mom 12-26-2011 12:49 PM

does anyone have a coupon code??? I have been very bad and filled my cart...

5moose 12-26-2011 01:21 PM

I've ordered from them. Good quality and fast shipping. I'll order again.

QuilterToo 12-26-2011 03:02 PM

They are great--a family owned business with a history of fabric retail, great to work with and u can make a request about shipping if u prefer USPS flat rate envelope, etc.

eastermarie 12-26-2011 03:10 PM

I saved a fortune on the Stonehenge fabrics for the pastor's quilt by purchasing from Thousand of Bolts. Same fabric, same quality, and great service. One draw back is you have to order in whole yards unless they have a fat quarter in the pattern that you need. I often check there first after I have decided on what fabric to use. That way if they have any of the fabrics, I'll be saving a lot.

SouthPStitches 12-26-2011 03:40 PM

Love, love, love 1,000 bolts. Great fabric, good prices and excellent, quick service. Have ordered close to a dozen times and never had a problem. Believe you can order with complete confidence.

nance-ell 12-26-2011 03:42 PM

I've ordered from them several times. Fabric arrived quickly and was good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

lfstamper 12-26-2011 04:15 PM

I always check there and have ordered. Some fabrics have been better than others but they stand behind their orders.

maine ladybug 12-26-2011 07:16 PM

I've ordered from them. Never had a problem.

jaciqltznok 12-26-2011 07:18 PM
