I have struggled with buying fabric online, always disappointed when I receive it because I’ve not been sure of the weight or if I’ve ordered the correct fabric for my project, but with the help and information in this booklet I was able to order fabric from you and I am really pleased with it.

I do think that the price is a little high for the quality but the information is priceless to me. The postage was also very high as the booklet couldn’t have weighed anymore than a large letter.
