Hello. Is this an international swap?

toryam 10/11/2006 #

Are there any restrictions on the type of fabric? I'd like to swap if I can get cotton fabrics since that's all I use.

user1938 10/13/2006 #

I like cottons too. Thinking of joining. Any way we can have more than one partner? Is there a minimum size to the pieces we send? I mean I personally don't prefer anything smaller than about 6x6? But prefer FQs...

user3028 10/13/2006 #

yes! this is an international swap. there are no restrictions as to which kind of fabric. the sizes should be useable sizes... no tiny scraps and such.

Are the sizes supposed to be sewn together to make a yard, or just measured so that they all add up to one yard? Sorry for my confusion.

user3028 10/16/2006 #

just measured to make a yard...

user2034 10/20/2006 #

excuse-me...could someone tell how "a yard" would be in centimeters? saying "a yard" u mean 1yardlenghtX1yardhigh? TY ^_^

user2881 10/21/2006 #

1 yard usually means length. The width varies by the fabric and is measured selvage end to selvage end.

user4354 10/22/2006 #

I'm new to this and was wondering what FQ meant. I'm interested in joining this swap, I have a huuuuge collection of fabric and lot's of extra pieces. : )

user1940 10/22/2006 #

craftylette - FQ means Fat Quarters; a cut of fabric that is at least 18X22 inches.

e*b - 1 yard = 91.44cm A cut of 1 yard length is usually less in width (more like 60cm but they vary). i would just be generous in your measurements. i've already gathered my fabrics which i'm sure measure much more than 1 yard.

user1938 10/23/2006 #

I have my pieces all ready and I'm sure its over the 1 yard minimum. I have SO MUCH stuff as I'm sure most people do. IF anyone is interested in another fabric swap (3 fat quarters) I have one started... http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/1146

user3028 10/24/2006 #

oh... i am excited! i keep finding fabrric to add!

VelveteenRabbit 10/26/2006 #

My fabric is ready, too. It's hard to measure a yard but I have five pieces that are more or less about a fat quarter so that should do it. :) It's nice to be able to trade from fabric that I have lots of to get something new!

user2026 10/27/2006 #

I did not see if we can have more than one partner. I would like to have a variety and I have so much I would like to swap more.

user4381 10/29/2006 #
