Ditto! I love them.

I found Thousands of Bolts to have great prices and quick delivery on my orders. They are also quick to communicate with you if you need any assistance about your purchase.

DebraK 05-09-2010 07:45 AM

I love this store. I've puchased at least 50 yards of fabric from them with no problems.

debbieumphress 05-09-2010 07:49 AM

Ditto..order often. Good prices. I have read lots of posts with satisfied quilters.

dkabasketlady 05-09-2010 07:51 AM

I've also ordered from them and no problems.

patricej 05-09-2010 07:54 AM

there's a TOB box overflowing in front of me right now. all name brand. the most expensive piece was $4.15 per yard. (most of them were $3.95.) every fabric in the box sells elsewhere for up to $9.99 per yard. it arrived within 3 days of the order.

plus they just added some nifty search features. you can search by theme now. they added something called "the color picker". i'm looking at that now to see how it works.

littlehud 05-09-2010 08:01 AM

They are wonderful. I love that site.

Barbm 05-09-2010 08:16 AM

shopped often- ditto the comments!

Suz Makalinaw, who is a machine embroidery digitizer (and a fabulous one) makes wallhangings and table runners and stuff from her own designs to show us what they look like and she says Thousands of Bolts is one of her favorite sites. I haven't ordered from there but have heard very good things about them.

katier825 05-09-2010 10:47 AM

They are great! Excellent prices, very quick shipping. You won't be disappointed!

Exactly my experience, have ordered from them several times.

I've used it. nice stuff, good prices, fast shipping. Actually it's one of my favorite on-line stores. I think they have a great selection.

I frequently order from them. Especially when they have sales. Another reason is they sometimes have a fabric that I can't find anywhere else, or can't find as low priced as they have it.
I like them. But I have to say that I do not order from them exclusively. And if you're wondering about their quality, it's just as good as any of the other top notch sites.

I was just playing with the color picker. Very fun, and will come in handy I think.

SuzyM 05-10-2010 04:52 PM

I've ordered from them. Great service - takes 7-10 days to here in country Qld. Very good quality fabric - and about 1/3 - 1/4 the price of the same quality fabric here in Australia. I'll definitely buy from them again.

I just placed an order tonight-I bought gifts for a swap I am in and found great prices-I hope the service is as great as the prices.

Crlyn 05-11-2010 02:50 AM

I'm very happy with 'Thousands of Bolts', fabric here in Australia is quite expensive...........I've had 3 orders from them. Great prices, great service and the fabric was very good quality.

I'm sure you will be happy with any orders from them.

vivoaks 05-11-2010 04:42 AM

Yep, yep, yep! Ditto! I live about 50 miles from them. Oh, how I wish they had a walk-in store!!! They're only online, but they're very fast, and 1st run fabric.

pennyswings 05-11-2010 05:09 AM

I live in Argentina for most of the year. Where I live they have a very limited quanity of printed cotton and what they do have is very poor quality.
I order from Thousands of Bolt all the time. Their prices are great and their fabrics are top quality. I never had a problem with anything I have ordered from them. There service is terrific too. In fact the last order I made got here in record time and I wrote them to compliment them. I received an email thank you the next day.

Ms Grace 05-11-2010 05:30 AM

I've never ordered from them. It looks like they have a very large selection.
Is everything 100% cotton?

I ordered from them and love their fabric, prices and service. I got my order within a couple of days...this is definately a site I would recommend for ordering material from !

sandpat 05-11-2010 05:46 AM

Love them and their stuff!!! I have to say though that the last time I ordered, I did use their "color picker". Please don't rely on it....it didn't work for me...what I ordered looked terrible together and I had to order something else. But overall....I LOVE them!

celueders 05-11-2010 05:58 AM

I didn't get the location. Please fill me in

stoppain 05-11-2010 06:41 AM

Hi to all, I missed the place you are talking about, could you please which store it is?

I love Thousands of Bolts!! One note , it is difficult to buy batiks on the web as all of the colors in a piece may not show in the sample.
Over the years I have ordered over 200 yds ( once 85 yards on one order). I like that they have a small sticker with the stock information on each peice in case I want to reorder. Plus I can check the order against the packing list . THey do pack the order in the order it show on the invoice.
Do note they turn over inventory rather quickly so if you open the box discover you love the piece(s) and want more , do order it right away.
THey rarely have sales , but do on occasion, But with prices this good it is like a sale every day.
They ship really fast , I usually recieve my order in 2 - 3 days.
They are my favorite site.

I have looked at their color picker and wondered how it worked. What happened with your order? Did you select a color from the main fabric, but find that when the companion fabrics arrived, they weren't really that particular color you expected? Or was it more a matter of the color worked but the "visual texture" of the fabric was not really compatible?

Sheree from Chicago 05-11-2010 06:54 AM

When looking for fabric, I always check there first. Can't beat their prices, especially for name brand batiks!

bstanbro 05-11-2010 08:07 AM

I ordered from them with great results. I recommend it.

What site are you referring to? Are these fabrics the same quality that you find in a quilting store or more like what Walmart or JoAnn carries? Name brands like Moda? If so, I'd definitely be interested.

vivoaks 05-11-2010 11:53 AM

If it's not cotton quilting fabric, it's flannel, but it will specify.
