Understand that we will only hold your appointment up to 15 minutes after your scheduled time. Please call and reschedule if you anticipate that you will not be able to make your appointment. If you are late – you are sacrificing your personal shopping time.

- It takes time to cut your fabric. Please allow us to begin cutting fabric as soon as you have selected it. We will cut what you have picked out while you continue your hunt throughout the store. If you are requesting more than ten fabrics to be cut, we will take your order and cut it at the end of the day. Your order will be ready for next day curbside pickup, or we can mail it to you.
