2-for-1 Fat Quarters Starts Today!
Today starts our favorite promotion of the year– 2-for-1 fat quarters! It’s the perfect time to stock up on tea towels, an easy to sew, wonderful handmade gift that fits on a fat quarter of fabric. So to help you out with your holiday shopping, Spoonflower is holding a two-for-one tea towel special starting today and running for the next week. Here are the details:
- What: Buy two fat quarters of fabric on Spoonflower for the price of one. [Most tea towel designs fit on a fat quarter.] A fat-quarter of linen-cotton canvas (which works well for tea-towels) is normally $14, so it will cost $7 during the period of the promotion.
- When: Thursday, November 6 (9am EST) through Wednesday, November 12th (at 10 pm EST).
- How: Add two fat quarters (or any other number) and you will get half-off the regular price. The discount will be calculated automatically and the promotional price will appear in your shopping cart.
FAQ:
1) Are these tea towels finished products?
No, they are not. Spoonflower just sells fabric, so the tea-towel calendars and other kits (stockings, kits, etc.) arrive to you as fabric and in order to use them as gifts you’ll need to hem, cut & sew as needed. Unless you’re giving them as kits to someone else who sews, which is also a fun idea.
2) If I’m a designer, will my commission on sales be half of what it normally is?
Nope. You’ll still earn up to 15% in Spoondollars of the un-discounted price.
3) Do I have to buy two fat quarters of the same design to get the promotional price?
No, the promotion will apply to all fat quarters, so you can use it for as many different designs as you like.
4) If I buy one fat quarter, will I automatically receive a second, identical fat quarter?
No, if you want two pieces of fabric, you will have to add two to your shopping cart (or adjust the quantity in the cart to be two rather than one).
5) Do I receive a discount if I buy two fat quarters on two different fabrics?
Yes, each fat quarter you purchase will be half of its regular price.
6) Does this promotion apply to all fabric, or just tea towel kits?
The buy-one-fat-quarter, get-one-free promotion applies to all fabric for the duration of the special. But it applies ONLY to the fat-quarter size, not to yards or swatches.
7) Can’t I just add a yard of fabric to my cart and get four tea towels?
The special offer applies only to fat quarters. In some cases, it might be possible to get four tea-towels by buying a yard of fabric… but most designers have set up their tea towels to be centered. If the design is centered then you have to order it as a single piece. For tea towels this is usually a quarter yard, but for an apron kit, for example, it might be a single yard. This special is a discount for fat quarters only.
Announcing Free Shipping Monday: 24 hours of free shipping on custom fabric to all destinations
As many of you know, we went through about six weeks of agonizingly long turnaround times in the spring. Spoonflower's amazing customers were waiting a very long time to receive their fabric, which was unfair, inconvenient and generally hard on everyone involved. You hated it. We hated it. But eventually — with more printers, more people and a lot of hard work — we got through it.
Because we're now completely caught up and turnaround times are very short (under five days on average for all regular shipping orders) we figure that this is a great time to do a very small something to thank all of you who suffered through our slow spring.
For 24 hours — from 8am ET on Monday, June 20th, to 8am ET the following day — we're going to make shipping completely free on all Spoonflower orders. Free to those of you in the US and free to those of you elsewhere (shout out, Australia!). The offer will apply to standard shipping only, but otherwise there are no restrictions and no minimum or maximum order size to qualify. See you on Monday! And thank you for being here. [Not sure about the time zone? Free shipping will start at 8am New York time. Check the difference here.]

Putting Our Crafty Community to Good Use: Heifer International
Spoonflower is still a small company. This our second Free Swatch Day. The first time we did this was a year ago when Spoonflower was an even smaller company, but we've decided once again this year to try to take the opportunity to do something worthwhile.
While we don't yet have much in the way of extra cash that we can direct toward organizations that promote ideas we value like sustainability, we are wealthy in one respect. Spoonflower is the hub of a large, well networked community of over 100,000 amazing, creative people. So we've decided to give everyone who takes advantage of Free Swatch Day on Spoonflower the option to take the $5 they would normally pay for a swatch and instead to make a donation to Heifer International, an organization that provides livestock, training and services to small farmers and communities around the world.
When you enter the shopping cart with your free swatch you'll see a donation box on the check out page where you can fill in any amount you'd like to donate to Heifer.org, click a donate button, and see the donation amount added to your cart total.
We'll report on the amount raised throughout the day on our Twitter feed and our Facebook page as well as on the Spoonflower blog once it's all over.
Questions?
What is a swatch and why aren't they always free? A swatch in this case is an 8 inch x 8 inch square of fabric custom printed with your design. Printed swatches normally cost $5 each. If you just want a sample book of unprinted fabric to see what it's like, we can send you that anytime for $1. The order form is on our fabrics page.
Can I email you an image to print? To take us up on our offer you have to use Spoonflower to create and order your swatch. That means uploading your (original) design or photo to a Spoonflower account, choosing your fabric and repeat style, and checking out using the instructions listed above.
Do I have to make a donation to Heifer? A donation is entirely optional. If you have another organization you'd like to support with a $5 donation, do that instead. You don't have to donate $5, either. Donate in any amount you like. Read more about Heifer.
How can I track my donation? The downside of raising money through Spoonflower is that we can't offer the ability to monitor and track your contribution and we can't offer you a receipt for making a tax deductible donation. We'll keep everyone informed about what we're doing on our blog, but if you want real accountability then by all means leave the donation box on your Spoonflower checkout page blank, then head on over to Heifer.org and make a donation yourself on their secure site.
If you have a question that we have not answered on this page, please feel free to contact us by emailing help@spoonflower.com.
