Don’t see your carrier? Reach out and we may be able to add what you need

The answer to this varies by carrier and recipient location. For the US it can take 2-days to 2-weeks depending on what service is selected and whether the carrier runs into any issues during transport.

We typically will begin to process your order same-day and try to ship within 24-hours. There are circumstances where longer handling times can be expected such as for custom orders and monthly fabric clubs. 

Backorders are dependent on our receiving the product first by the manufacturer. In most cases this is around a 1-week turn-around. Sometimes two depending on the product.

For pre-orders, please refer tot the product page of the website for the ESTIMATED date we will receive the product. Please note that the delivery date is out of our control. As soon as we get the product in, we will process and ship out. Depending on the volume of order for that product, it can create an additional, albeit slight, delay. 

We will process orders in the order received.

Need a rush on it? Feel free to reach out. We will always do everything we can to accommodate our fellow sewists, from one artizan to another.

To protect your investment and ours, we are happy to require a signature to receive your package upon request. 

This means the carrier come to the door with a clipboard or device to have you sign for the package. 

Please note that this added protection can cause delays should no one be home to sign for the package.

For repeat customers, we can remove this protection should we both agree and feel it isn’t necessary. This will be assessed on a case by case basis. Feel free to reach out to request this options.
