Selling Fabric and Sewing Supplies
I am not offering anything for sale on this forum - but I am asking for opinions about some things.
I have some pieces of fabric that are uneven on the ends.
Do you prefer a nice straight cut - like one gets from the store - or would you prefer to get the "extra" - with an uneven edge - assuming you would get charged the same either way?
Fabrics do fold and stack more neatly with even edges.
I would indicate whether or not a piece of fabric has been washed. I think many people (of those what wash before cutting) would wash whatever again when they get it home, (I probably would, because I know what I do when I soak/wash - not so sure about other people's methods.)
Would you be willing to buy scraps? Maybe priced by the pound?
Would you consider picking out of bins/totes and putting it in plastic bags and weighed?
Or would you prefer to have it "prepackaged" and sold by the pound?
I was at a show where scraps were sold in brown paper bags by color. I passedl.
Would you buy charm squares that had straight edges instead of pinked edges?
I cut consistently - but my 5 inch squares would be a couple of threads bigger than an "exact" 5 inch square because of how I cut.
Do you prefer to buy by the yard or by the piece? I have a lot of pieces more than three yards in length. If you got a discount for buying the whole piece, would that make it more attractive to you/
If I had a fabric sale, I think I would like to make appointments - I have a lot of stuff - not so much space, Would you consider "shopping" that way?
I have - very reluctantly - come to the conclusion that I will probably not get around to doing anything with all the fabrics and tools I have accumulated.
And a couple of my kids have made it quite clear that they would prefer to not have to deal with all that "stuff"!
I would like to recover some of what I have spent over the years!
