    I would love to see FQ packs, as well as one yard packs of same fabrics.

    It's hard to judge online whether this color is exact shade you need, but too see them in packs you can get a range of one color and be confident of getting what you need.

    FQ aren't always enough to do a large quilt. I am getting ready to make a bargello and need one yard lengths of 24 different fabrics (not an easy task to accomplish online).

    Cut to order. I can't think of when I have bought less than a yard but many times have bought more.

    Please, please, please whatever you do...DON'T price and sell by the half-yard. OF course if you want to sell in half-yard increments, by all means do so...but that is my LEAST favorite tactic to put in big bold letters "$4.99!!!" and then in teeny-tiny print "per half yard".
    I agree 100%
    Yes, I also hate this, it seems deceiving. List prices per yard and sell even down to the 1/4 yard but price listed per yard.

    Thank you all! You are a big help. Actually trying to decide how to do it has postponed getting the web store going. I will try and keep prices and shipping down as low as I can for all us quilters on a tight budget! It looks like I will just post pictures of the material and start from there. I will let you all know as soon as I get pictures up. Thanks again!

    I like it when I can buy as little as a fat quarter. Don't like the stores that tell me there is a one yard minimum. tend to buy other places as I don't always want that much.

    I do not like to shop at stores where I have to buy 1 yard unless it is on sale - Then I don't mind buying one yard.

    I like to buy 1/4 or whatever amount is called for.
