    Wonderful and refreshing that you let us know your positive experience. It is up to us to always be proactive for ourselves. Thank you for letting us know the outcome. Wish more people would read through the posts and know how you were helped and stopped with the negatives.

    I have always loved the quality of Northcott fabrics. I have never purchased anything pre-cut, so I will keep an eye out for that.
    As for Northcott, I am glad you followed up again with them, and had the problem resolved. I was very surprised to hear their initial reaction, because I have nothing but good things to say about the folks at Northcott. My guild (in Quebec) has contacted them a few times asking for fabric donations...for a cancer quilt, for doorprizes for the provincial guild meeting, and they have always been extremely generous. Please don't write Northcott off....they made a mistake and they are going to fix it.

    Most times if you e-mail the ceo of the store and complain they will do something. As far as you starting to cut the fabric you would be expecting the fabric to be ok and not notice until you started working on it. Don't be nasty just explain your dissapointment in their product and see what they do that's to much money to let go you are the only loser if you don't persue even if it takes a few times. Sue

    This is the quickest, most direct route. Years ago I worked for the CEO of major bank ... letters to him were taken seriously.

    Northcutt must not need our business. How would it be in todays economy to be so big that they dont need quilters support?

Ifyou feel that you are not assertive enough have an assertive friend or I hate to say it but it works,a male make the calls. Do not hang up till you get satisfaction. They always have a "boss" above them, take names,. You may have to leave voice mails but don't give up they will get tired of it and issue a refund or yardage!

    I agree with all of this and also remember to mention that you will give warning to any quilt guilds you are a member of and of course that you will post it here and on Facebook or Twitter. Maybe if they know that you are unhappy enough to spread the word world wide they will be more apt to do what is right for you.

    Michelle, Fabric.com has a variety of stripped fabric by the yard starting at $7.95 a yard. If it were me and I wanted to make the quilt as bad as it seems you do, I would go back to the store, take cut strips with me, tell them you talked to Northcott and this was their instructions, get your money back, then order from Fabric. com. I have never been dissatisfied with Fabric.com.
