    I was Interested in a suiting fabric on sale and needing details of the amount still available I phoned. The exact yardage was quoted, all relevant details were processed and the fabric arrived within one working day. Excellent service, beautiful fabric and a knowledgeable sales advisor with a sense of humour. No-one could ask for more. Thank you so much.

    Excellent quality fabric and had the good fortune to meet a very helpful, courteous staff member at the Stitch Festival at the end of last month. Will certainly be making further purchases in the future.

    I’m over the moon with all the fabrics I recently purchased. They all arrived in great condition, neatly folded without any additional creases. The fabric feels and looks like very good quality, good colours and thickness. Perfect for my projects of making baby and children’s clothes and little bags. I find all fabrics I’ve ordered here beautiful and will keep buying more.
