pulls, or anything that needs a personal touch.
We here at Quilt N Go just love new books and notions. We feel so lucky to be around them everyday we
work. We do realize, however, that our customers can’t always afford to buy every single new book and notion
that comes out! So we have decided to help you narrow down what books and notions are really great to put on
your MUST BUY list. Each newsletter a member of our staff will review a new book or notion.
Reviewer: Penny
Product: Gypsy Gripper
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
The Gypsy Gripper is a tool you connect to your ruler with suction action. It keeps your hands
away from the rotary cutter, it helps keep your ruler from slipping by distributing the weight all
along the length of the ruler.
I have 2 because I love them! It really makes it easier for me to cut with my sore wrists and
hands.

End of Bolt
Any time you take what is left on a bolt in our store, you get 30% off the total price
of that piece.
Retreat Bucks
Our computer keeps track of your buying. When you go on a retreat with us, you
get 1 retreat buck for every $5 you have spent (up to 30 retreat bucks)
50 Yard Dash
Our computer keeps track of the fabric you buy. When you have purchased 50
yards of fabric off the bolt at regular price you will get a $25 gift certificate. It’s
easier than a punch card because you don’t have to keep track at all.
Saturday Hours are until 3:00
C.O.D
Class on Demand. If you would like a particular class, we will schedule a class that
fits your schedule and at least 2 of your friends. Just ask!!
