    Default Quality of Fabric

    I was considering buying some fabric from Home Sew and was wondering about the quality of the fabrics. Has anyone purchased from them? Thanks

    Good question. They don't provide the manufacturer. I did do a google image search on a couple of the descriptions and found some of the fabrics & mfgs, and the ones I found were LQS, but from prior years. I guess I would do some research on the ones I was interested in. I'm sure that folks who have ordered from them will provide feedback.

    More and more internet sites are popping up these days, buying out closing LQS and older inventory from well known manufacturers. It might help to email and ask them how they buy their fabric and who are the manufacturers they carry.

    I myself have not ordered from them. However, if I could get LQS quality fabric and it was in a design that fit my pattern or design, I think that is a win - win situation. Will watch this thread to see the responses.

    I buy fabric from them often, the quality is always good. Maybe the pattern is last years wow, but that is unimportant to me. I buy what my fancy strikes me...no problems with any of my purchases, doll, doll supplies, notions, books etc. They have my full confidence, by the way I first started buying from them long before they had an online presence. That good old paper catalog is welcome.

    I like Jan's advice to check it out. She is right about so many sites starting up and have bought out local LQS. I think you need to know their market plan to know if you can be assured of the quality you want. I know it pays to ask questions even if it is email contact.

    There are also wholesalers like Choice Fabrics that do closeouts or excess manufacturers inventory. 90% high quality from known manufacturers. Loads of places for the middle man to get fabric of all kinds.

    I buy a lot of my trims and laces from Home Sew. They are reliable and honest. I recycle, so I am not ordering fabric.
