Fabric.com What has changed?
lakaribane Beginner HAITI Member since 7/23/07 Posts: 1745	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/9/12 10:41 AM I got a very good looking newsletter from Fabric.com today. In addition to a new layout (I think) the words "seersucker" and "linen" started singing in my head. Anyway, I can't buy online even if I wanted to, credit card theft drama, but I remember they had announced a major make-over of the website. Since we are in May, does that mean they automated their inventory and everything else they promised? ------ Fashion Maté, where I blog about what I (eventually) sew : http://fashionmate.blogspot.com Addicted to Pinterest?

I'll try anything once :)

This ordershould have shipped last week anyway..I asked that they cancel the matching rib knit fabric and hold the order until I could find substitues to bring the total back to $35..A reply said they received my email and pulled the oos fabric. Just got the shipping confirmation and it looks as if nothing has been changed on my order. My last several orders have all had problems. As for the id theft, I use a prepaid credit card from a local check cashing place. It acts like a real vias or mastercard, in that I can use it anyplace, but I put the amount of money I want on it. Usually I figure my internet sales budget for the week or month and put that amount on the card..if it is hacked, I haven't lost much and I use it in areas where I think there would be a chance of the numbers being swiped, such as the fabric shows or restaurants. I also use it for paypal so PP doesn't have access to any bank account. Paypal has also had problems lately. ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

I got an order from both places this month...and both were less then stellar, but no change afaik.

The content was correct (that can be iffy for me), but I didn't notice anything different on the website at all. ------ My sewing blog: weebeaks.blogspot.com

But this morning I started the checkout process and noticed the checkout is not an https site ! Is that new or have I just not noticed it before ? Needless to say my willpower kicked in quickly and I just closed it down. :-) What with shipping being way more than the cost of the fabric, it was just as well anyway. ------ Claire 1seamatatime.blogspot.com Kenmore / Necchi BU Mira Singer 99 (3) / HD110 / 66 (RedEye) / 127 Treadle / 15-90 / 221
