I just found it and placed an order. Good prices on top brand fabrics. I wonder how they offer them so low?

Haven't ordered from them but they certainly have good prices! Please let us know how the shipping and quality of fabric is when you receive your order.

I think because some of them are at least a couple of yrs old. I recognise some of the Hoffmann and Bali stuff from 2/3 yrs ago. (my machine/fabric dealer dates her bolts and sells the older ones at a discount. -I- happend to have some of that stuff in my stash....)

I think Chrys is right. Those prices are below wholesale but we can get bolt ends and discontinued fabrics for about 1/2 of wholesale. that is probably where these are coming from. Nothing wrong with that if it is the print you want. Funny thing is I still have alot of fabric over 5 years old that suddenly is selling like crazy again. Guess people have forgotten it and think it's new.
Have fun or don't do it, Tom

Shipping was $8.40 for ten yards. I got Hoffman, RJR, and Benartex fabrics. They look like great quality. I think I'll be buying from them often now.
