We no longer send outside of the UK
We reserve the right to send parcels using a 'signed for' service. This is so we can make a claim with Royal Mail if the parcel goes missing.
We also reserve the right to send your order in multiple parcels to meet Royal Mail requirements.
Royal Mail do not allow us to give them delivery instructions such as 'Leave behind the gate' etc. However, as we are using Royal Mail, you may be able to make those requests directly with your postperson.
Royal Mail target delivery timeframes are as follows (not including day of dispatch)
2nd class - 2-3 working days
1st class - 1-2 working days
Royal Mail do not however guarantee these time frames and delivery can take up to 15 working days (fortunately very rare).

SIZES
Our quilting fabric is generally sold by the quarter metre. There are exceptions, so please check the specific details for each product.
1 unit is cut as a fat quarter, unless you specify at checkout that you would prefer a long quarter (comments section).
Our dressmaking fabric is generally sold by the half metre. There are exceptions, so please check the specific details for each product.
FAT QUARTER?
Generally our quilting fabric is 110-112cm wide. A long quarter would be 25cm of fabric x the width of the fabric. A fat quarter is the same area of fabric but fat instead of thin.
Therefore, we cut 50cm of fabric instead of 25cm and further cut that half metre in half across the width. The finished piece would then be 50cm x 55cm.
Long Quarter = 25cm x 110cm
Fat Quarter = 50cm x 55cm
