Dear Stitcher,

We are very pleased to present you the Friendstitch 2001 catalog for threads, canvas and attachments. We have made every effort to try to make the listings as complete and up-to-date as possible. Enjoy browsing! If you don’t see what you need, just ask. We may have started stocking it after your catalog was printed or can special order it for you.

Friendstitch has an extensive inventory, so your order can usually be shipped within one week of receipt. In the event we are out of an item, we will immediately inform you and give you as estimated date of delivery. If you are preparing for a class, please let us know the date so we can be extra sure that you have your supplies.

You can order by phone, fax, e-mail or US mail. You can pay by check or charge (Visa/MC). You may use the attached order form, or send your own list. Just make sure we have a complete mailing address and a phone number or e-mail address where we can reach you if we have any questions. ALL orders receive a 10% discount off the listed retail prices. ALL order shipped within the USA are subject to a $3.00 shipping charge. We will ship out of the USA for an additional charge.
