I am looking at the online fabric shops to figure out which FOTM clubs to join and it is really overwhelming all the choices. For example, Enchanted fabrics has about 20 different choices!? I can't make up my mind! I don't know what size to get, I don't know what line to choose I am confused. The other one I'll probably join is SW. Same thing there a hundred different combinations. I have checked the measurements of all my L&L and Mira's and I guess I need to buy pieces large enuf for those. On the EF site you can pick 2x 18 by 27 or 1 piece of 27x36. If you choose 2 pieces 18x27 are they different colors or the same color? Does anybody know how this works? I want some pretty fabric but I'm getting overwhelmed.

HI Gina. I've done the Silkweavers one and I do the 2 18x26 pieces of evenweave and they are different colours. I love doing this as I love seeing what colours I get.

I've been members of both & you get different colors from both as well.

That's great. Is 18x27 big enough for most Mira's and L&L's and PR's?
Okay-still confused. How do you decide between EF Line/Painted/Flair/Mystique/Surprise me for Enchanted fabrics and Expressions/Reflections/Special/Solos/Classics for Silkweaver. I WANT THEM ALL!

Fabric Stash Crack Dealer

I do a FOTM club as well - you can choose the sizes of fabrics you want (up to a metric fat quarter), and also the fabrics and/or colours you prefer (or don't want). Pricing depends on options selected, but are basically the list price for the fabrics, less a discount.

Fancy Stash Scrimper

I am a SW and Polstitches member. For SW, I signed for the Wishlist program -- 1-18x26, this way you can build a wishlist and they will send you a piece randomly every month. Almost the same for Polstitches, I got the Main Range Club membership, you will choose the kind of fabric that you want and send them the list of colours that you already have in your stash (to avoid duplication), they will send you colours of their choice. HTH!

Are they (FOTM) expensive? I have wanted to sign up but didn't want to in case the funds were low.

I don't know why my picture and log-in changed. I'll have to look into that. I also noticed I have a scroll bar now. I would edit that out but I can't now.

I can't help you with your log in.... but I edited your post and removed some of the $. There were too many and it was causing me to have to scroll sideways....

Perhaps, I didn't remove enough of them? Is that the scroll bar you're seeing??

If you're unsure which line of fabric would suit you best, the best thing to do would be to contact the company. They are all friendly, approachable & helpful and they know their fabric lines best. And they want you to be happy with your choice.

Magicmonster, you are welcome to remove all of them. I wanted to but that post doesn't have an edit button anymore. Sorry guys. Good idea Gill about calling them. But I just jumped in with both feet and got on three FOTM clubs. I can't wait to get them. I ended up with SilkWeaver, Picture This Plus, and Enchanted Fabrics. By the end of this year I won't be able to complain that I have no fabric!
