I had 3 computers going and I got nothing. I ended up getting some Jelly cl since I didn't pre-order any this year since I still have the stuff I preordered 2 years ago.
But super excited to see that they are going to do a flash pre-order starting Friday. Hopefully my fingers are faster and I can get my hands on some more 626.

So funny. I know this makes sense to the OP, and probably to someone who knows what backstitch is (I only know it as a stitch in embroidery) but the entire post reads like a foreign language to me 😂

Instead, I feel like I wandered into a meeting in the middle of Silicon Valley! It's the name of a custom fabric company. They ran retail of a couple of their most coveted prints and they sold out in less than 10 seconds. Thousands and thousands of yards of fabric. My all time favorite is a print with the character Stitch (626) and I really wanted some, but alas my fingers weren't quick enough. I was hoping there was another fan on here that I could commiserate with! |

It's probably a good thing I didn't know about this site because the absolute last thing I need is more fabric. However, I will commiserate with you because there isn't much worse than the perfect piece of fabric that got away - or you didn't buy only to regret it for years to come. |

Yeah if you haven't already fallen down the rabbit hole of custom fabrics, save yourself a lot of money and don't go there!! They preorder at $25-30 a yard and retail for $30-35 a yard. And then there are prints like this one that I wanted that sell on the Buy/Sell/Trade market for $300 a yard because they are so coveted! |

Oh man, I’m familiar with backstitch but was not aware that they had the sale going on. Have you checked out blended thread? They’re in CA but have the most beautiful stuff.

They had surprise retail on 626, Fantastic Beasts, and a new Jelly Worlds (Disney) print. Yardage in cl and woven and big kid panels for all 3. It sold out in under 30 seconds. So they announced they are going to do a Flash Pre-order of all of it (+ french terry) starting Friday at 10am Est. Fingers crossed I can get some! I am going to do orders from both sites for my 626 and then go back in for the rest after. I know pre-orders can hit their caps fast too. Yes! Blended Threads has some gorgeous stuff!!! |

We're a big Disney house and I have 4 little kids, so Backstitch, Hapa, miss Mac for sure. I also like Wanderlust, Oh So Pretty Customs, Mk Designs. For non-custom I have had good luck with So Sew English and Purple Seamstress. I have some Moonbeam in my stash! I have some of the LOTR that they ran a couple of years ago, it is beautiful!

I fell down the hole of high dollar garment fabrics 40+ years ago (my degree is Clothing & Textiles).  There is a gorgeous piece of wool/silk/cashmere challis from Casa dei Tessuti on my sewing table right now that cost approx. 200 Euros/metre. I'm fringing the edges and making a scarf.  I went into quilting, thinking the fabrics were cheaper so it would be a less expensive hobby. HA! Joke's on me! |

Sounds gorgeous! Please post it when you are done with the scarf!! I would love to see your quilts too! If you look at the Oct and Nov craft threads, you'll see my latest two quilts that I made during the quarantine earlier this year. This is the fabric (the blue one at the bottom). DD purchased it for me while on a trip to Italy (though Mom ended up paying for it per usual!). My memory was a bit off on the price. Turns out it was 280 Euro/metre!  At least I showed restraint and only requested 1 metre. Fringed and folded in half it will be a gorgeous shawl to wear over sweaters this winter. It seriously is the softest fabric I've ever worked with and I can't wait to wear it.   |

I figured backstitch was something similar to cross stitch or something! I don’t cross stitch but was intrigued to find out what backstitch was all about!😂

Please post it when you are done with the scarf!! Here is the finished shawl/scarf! Hazel graciously agreed to model it for me. Winter weather arrives here this week and I can't wait to wear it over my black turtleneck sweater!   |
