CANADIAN FABRIC CLUBS
Keli Hansen
Hi fellow sewers,
I would really like to know why Canada has no fabric clubs that send
out
monthly swatches of their product. You see all kinds of ads in the Sew
News
Magazines but they all say "Sorry not available in Canada at this time.
Does
anyone have any leads to this situation. It drives me crazy when I see
the
fabric in the Sewing Mag., and I have no way of getting it at a
reasonable
price.

Fabric Club P.O. Box 18074 Delta, BC V4L 2M4 ph 1-800-488-3399 and
Foxglove Fabrics right in Vancouver-I don't have their address handy but
I'm sure you can find them in the phone book. Four Seasons has
wonderful fabrics and sends out four mailings a year (I think). Haven't
ordered from Foxglove for awhile, but past experience with both has been
very good. This is my first try at a reply so hope you get it!
