Hi Pat - here's a link to the pdf brochure which explains the savings
plan: http://www.fabricland.ca/sewclubbrochure2008.pdf Whenever
there is a sale - they post notices in the store where club members
save with extra discounted prices and they have members' specials
also. I think that they have reduced the cost of the plan which is
why I am considering it - I don't buy much fabric from them but they
do have battings by the metre and also a fair supply of quilty items
that I always check out when I go. Last time I was in the store
looking for the backing fabric for 4 table runners - I found a bolt
end that cost me less than $6 for 2metres - it fit the bill perfectly
(sage/olive green wine bottles and grapevines).
I know that at least one lqs offers a similar quilters club but the
cost of theirs was too expensive to use - I have a frequent buyers'
card from one store that will stamp the $value of non-sale purchases
until $250 and then you 'win' $25 instore dollars. It could take me a
verrrry long time to buy at full price - especially since they didn't
want to give me credit for some notions that I bought during my last
visit - I had some fabric which was sale priced while the notions were
not - I argued the point and they stamped my card for the price of the
notions.
Thanks for easing my conscience on the post dated method of
payment.....jennellh

What is a saver membership and how does your local shop work this?
As to the cost of stash building .... since the checks were post dated, I
doubt if that counts!! :)

I am considering a 'saver' membership at one of our local fabric
stores - I have usually only shopped there during their sales times
and probably would have saved even more if I'd had the saver card.
The only reason that I am thinking about joining is that their fabric
(own store brand) has much improved in the last couple of years - it
has a meatier hand and the colours are more vibrant. I even picked up
a namebrand piece last time I was there. Notion sales are always good
ones and recently they stocked Coats Star threads - plain and
variegated.
As for fabric clubs, I subscribed during one of the shophops specials
to an 8fat quarter deal every month and I haven't been disappointed.
Cynthia even sent me a pack of 8 half yard cuts one month of fabrics
that I probably wouldn't have ordered otherwise (part of the Lapinski
line) - I still don't know how I will use them. I opted not to pay by
pay-pal and sent her post-dated cheques instead - does that still
count towards the cost of stash-building?
