Hi Tamster, have you used this site before and if so what are their pp rates like please? I had a look at it and they have some lovely fabrics and cheap too but I couldn't see anything about pp prices. Rufus x

I am lucky enough to have a branch near me so have never had to order via the net. The service in the shop is always good.

I was wondering where everyone had gone - thought you had all dissapeared to the FlyingPig Thread I posted lol!

I am making slow progress on my Nieces' Quilts for Christmas. Lots of coughs & colds in this house so that means lots of getting up in the night for me. I have been too tired to sew some nights, but I have two more quilts nearly finished - just can't decide on whether to have borders or not.

hubby doesn't have time to go round car boots etc. and i don't want it to cost a fortune, seem them locally for £49.99!.but well made as it will get alot of use.

but hubby has asked for a xmas list. finding it hard to find stuff for me. as i'm not like that. i'd rather stuff for home, kids etc. but i really quite like these.

yes thankyou, but i like all the ones that are £45 and £49. i like the ones that have the hinges same colour as the wood. Not the wood with black.

But thankyou so much for looking.

I love the old cantilever ones, especially with the black! Still hoping to find one at a carboot. Actually I saw one a few years ago that was full of goodies but the stall holder wanted £4 for it and I ummed & arrd over it. She wouldn't budge on the price & I wasn't really into my sewing then so I declined. :mad:
Have been looking for one ever since

I remember someone on here being bought a brand new one for a gift by their DH but had had their heart set on a vintage one...possibly Kandi?? Can't remember if they kept it or not (getting old smiley)

Tamster; That would have been a bargain for £4 missed many bargains myself cos I wasn't doing that particular cfaft at the time
