I dont think you need different yardages specified I would expect to go to a listing and see so much a yard and buy what I need, so why do you need 1 to 3, 4 to 7 and 8+ yards / meters .
I think we should stick to Rachels last "we are going with this then" and add other things later as if you mess about too much we will end up with none
Sorry if my last post sounded rude, it wasn't meant to be, what i mean is if we keep changing our minds, the lads wont know which end's up

Do you like upholstery where it is, or should it go under yardage?

Hi rachel, i dont do anything with upholstry fabric but just a thought would it look better as soft furnishings, as would upholstry cover curtain fabric, I wouldn't like to say as i dont sell it, what about curtain and upholstry fabric as then it would cover nets as well. Does anyone actually sell it on here?, I havent looked.
Could you put fabric panels and cardmaking fabric together somehow, or fabric panels with 2 sub categorys for.
cushions panels.
cardmaking squares,
or cardmaking fabric,,,,,,, sorry i don't know what they call it.
Don't worry, I wasn't offended. I know what you mean about changing our minds...but its better to do that now, and not later. I am happy to go with yardage...its just that I am used
to looking for fabric over 3mts...lol I can do that under yardage...
But I do think we need a category for 'curtains and soft furnishings'..that would cover upholstery etc.
Sorry if I'm being a bit disjointed ....I am trying to set up my second store, and just jumping in here when I can.
I AM trying to be helpful...honest!!!
Hi Syl, well i was hoping to do yardage as something like, this is 99p a meter ( or whatever) and I have 10 meters and then the person could buy what they want.. am i not looking at it right.. The only problem i can see for me is how can you give a postage quote...
All i want to do is lighten the load on the top floor of my house before it ends up in bed with us.
I know its a tricky one.. yardage hmmm???
If you have a piece of fabric that is say 3mtrs long...its not a remnant. It would be in the yardage 3-5mt cat.it wouldn't be sold by the yard....I've bought pieces that have been sold as 10mt pieces before...not been listed by the yard.
Do you see where I'm coming from.
I'm not being very clear I don't think...
Remnants to me are little bits and pieces, less than a yard, and sometimes odd shaped...a bit like the bundle stuff you sometimes see.
But saying that...I am OK with the categories as they stand...with just the 'Fabric/Curtain and soft furnishing' and the 'Fabric/panels and cardmaking' added.
At the end of the day, everyone will have their own way of searching and categorising, to meet their own needs. You can't please everyone, and the list we have is one everyone should be able to work within.
Postage...well. All you can do is put the postage rates in the description ..e.g. £1 for first yard 75p every yard thereafter...or email seller...etc..
We have asked Gazza before if we can have more options in the postage to accomodate this sort of thing...I guess they will get around to that eventually. Perhaps when they do the overhaul of the site. ( Did you see the post about that?)
