hey guys.... so i really want to get swatches from feilds fabric through the "get 2 swatches free" thing, but my mom wont have it becasue she thinks that fields is going to steal her credit card number (yeah right). will anyone here order some for me using their card, and just put all my shipping info into the slots so it gets sent to me? i would really appreciate it becasue its frustrating wanting to stitch with ultrasuede and not being able to order anything becasue my mom is paranoid. thanks alot to anyone who will help. im pretty sure fields is a safe website that wont rip anyone off (all you stitchers know this).

Snail mail.
It says they accept money orders/cheques (although I'm not sure what "$20 max" means...)

I believe 16 y/os can get their own prepaid credit cards. It's like debit, but you can use it for online purchases.

I'd go with a money order. Ask you post office about one. You basically trade your cash for a slip or something, then the slip is sent and the receiver cashes it in.

The free swatches are 2'' by 2'' so they don't really do anything but they're worth a panel or 2.

I smell Dadaism in the works.

I'd go with money order. It's reliable, but slightly more expensive method of payment.

Cale, is this what you're planning to get?

Because, honestly, for a bag of scraps priced at around $8, you can get an assortment of colors and make a nice footbag out of it. That's why I mentioned "dadaism" as a response to making Dada 32s, like Pengbags. The lengths of each facile piece is random, and is a bit of a stretch for conformity though.

Could beat the $15 sample swatch offer Field's is providing, and the individual swatches offer unless you're sort of exact on what to trace and cut between a 2"x2" of space.

Waylon, are all the scraps in the scrap bag ultrasueude light? If so i might get them because i see alot of colors in theere that aren't listed on the website.

woah... ive never even seen that before, so no it wasnt, but if what benzilla is asking is so, then i would totally do that. i have no color preference=) thanks man!

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 28 Nov 2007 18:19

yeah, if ts all facile then definately get it.

It's listed as "Ultrasuede Scraps" but I assume most of the material in them is ultrasuede light.

It's not like ultrasuede soft stopped me from using that material for footbags. It's preference, and you'll have enough to make Dada bags anyway.
