Additional factors to consider
• All quilter’s quality cotton prints are limited quantity. We receive 1-2 bolts and once those are sold, we cannot get more.
• You will need more yardage to match up patterns.
• We sell in whole yard increments. Round up so that you have enough fabric. For example, if you need 2 ½ yards for your project, you will need to order 3 yards.
 
For online orders - fabric is heavy and bulky, when folded. This raises the shipping cost. We do our best to keep shipping costs as low as possible for all our customers. If you’re order more than 50 yards at a time, we may be able to find you a lower shipping rate if you contact us.

For in person shopping - cutting fabric by the yard is one of the most time-consuming tasks at our powwow stand. We strive to work fast but if we go too quickly, we make mistakes. Please be patient if you’re fabric shopping in person.

For bolt orders - quilter’s cotton arrives on bolts of ~15 yards; native print fabrics are on bolts of ~20 yards. We’re happy to help you find bulk quantities for your program or class. Please contact us as early as possible to ensure that we can get your items in time. Native print fabrics are made-on-demand and require minimum 4 weeks for production. Quilter’s cottons can often be purchased more quickly but certain patterns may not be available.
