WHAT CAN I SELL?

Can I sell yarn, notions or other quilting supplies?

Yes! As of the end of 2025, we are now allowing yarn and craft supplies to be sold on the site. However, since these are new categories, there are not as many people shopping the site for those items.

Can I sell vintage fabric on FeelGood Fibers?

Yes! We love vintage fabric at FeelGood Fibers. Just remember to accurately describe the quality and highlight if there are any tears or stains. Vintage sheets (and similar items) that are primarily made of cotton and could be used as quilting fabric may also be sold. If you have any questions, email us at hello@feelgoodfibers to get a conversation started!

What if my fabric doesn’t have the selvedge on it?

If your fabric doesnt have an identifying selvage but you know that it is quilt-store quality fabric, you can list it by designer (if known) or as “unknown/other” on the dropdown menu when prompted.

Can I sell pre-washed fabrics?

Yes, prewashed fabrics may be sold, you just need to select “washed” in the appropriate field.

SHIPPING

Is shipping free?

You won’t see any additional shipping fees when you buy fabrics on FeelGood Fibers. We ask that sellers add all shipping into the listed price so that it’s easier for buyers to understand the final cost, especially when they are buying from multiple stores.

We do NOT want sellers to absorb shipping fees (and we don’t reward them for doing that) like some larger platforms do.

LEAVING A REVIEW

I've received my fabric, can I leave a review?

Yes! However, in order to leave a review, you must be a registered user. In order to prevent spam and anonymous comments, the system does not allow non-registered users to leave a review at this time.

PROMOTING YOUR SHOP

How can I promote my destash on FeelGood Fibers?

Social media is a great way to promote your destash. Grab this button to use on Instagram to let people know that you have items listed on the site! And make sure to tag @feelgoodfibers.

What will FeelGood Fibers do to promote my listing?

We are here to help you have a successful destash!

When you share your product on social media (IG, Facebook and TikTok) and tag @feelgoodfibers we will share your post in our stories.

We are always updating the “Featured Fabric” on the front page of the FeelGood Fibers marketplace with your listings to highlight them for shoppers. AND we have set up all the category product sliders to show listings in a random order so that every product has the same chance of being featured no matter when it was listed.

We send a newsletter out every Saturday morning with a different fabric theme (i.e. summer brights, moody florals) with links to listings on the site.

How do I get my fabric featured in the newsletter?

Products are chosen for the newsletter based on how well they fit the weekly theme. There is limited space in the newsletter, and many products on FeelGood Fibers, so it’s not possible to highlight all products.

However, it is much more likely your product will be featured if you take clear photos on a neutral background!

How do I sign up for your newsletter?

You can sign up for our newsletter here. We will never sell your information, ever.

Can I put a product on sale?

Yes, you can. On the product tab of your vendor dashboard, click “edit” below your product. Once on the product screen enter the sale price in the “Discounted Price” box. At the bottom of the listing click “save product”. That’s it.

SHIPPING

How is shipping handled on FeelGood Fibers?

We ask that sellers add all shipping into the products listed price so that it’s easier for buyers to understand the final cost when they are buying from multiple stores.

While this makes the initial product price seem higher, it is less likely that buyers will abandon their carts when they see the added shipping fees from multiple stores. If desired, sellers can add a note in their shop policies that prices include shipping with a specific carrier.

We do NOT want sellers to absorb shipping fees (and we don’t reward them for doing that) like some larger platforms do.

How should I estimate shipping costs for my products?

This is entirely up to you. We suggest taking the average estimated shipping cost for your fabric and building that into the price of your listing. For example, if you are destashing a bundle that you value at $25 and the shipping estimate is between $5-$9, we would suggest including $7 for shipping costs. Thus, the bundle would be listed at $32.

The USPS offers this retail shipping calculator to help you estimate the cost of shipping.  This chart can provide additional information regarding flat rate shipping and package weight/dimensions.

Is there a shipping provider that you recommend? Shipping is so expensive!

Yes, it is! We recommend signing up with one of the free online shipping services that give you discounts on USPS and UPS rates. We use Pirate Ship (no affiliation) and usually ship USPS.

When we have done our own destashes in the past, we’ve found it helpful to list bundles rather than individual fabrics, because then the shipping cost isn’t as big a percent of the total.

I'VE MADE A SALE, NOW WHAT?

How should I pack up my fabric for shipping?

Packing up your fabric can be as simple or special as you’d like it to be!

We suggest starting by printing out the packing slip, which can be found in your vendor dashboard. Go Orders and click on the icon with a little piece of paper with lines. This is your packing slip, which you will include in your package when you ship. On the packing slip, you can write a note to your fabric’s new owner. We like “Thanks for giving my fabric a new home” or something like that! You can tie it all up with a fabric scrap bow or keep it minimalist. It’s completely up to you!

How do I mark my fabric as shipped and provide tracking?

Marking your product as shipped and adding tracking info are part of the process to get paid. See the full tutorial here.

In your vendor dashboard, next to the order you have shipped, you will see an icon of an eye. Once you click the icon you will see the order details and below that a button that says, “Create New Shipment”. When you click that button you will to select the item you shipped, select the shipping status as “on the way” and enter the provider, the date shipped and the tracking number.

Make sure to check the box nest to “notify shipment details to customer” and then click “create shipment”.

When you return to the orders page, you will see an update under “Shipment”.

How soon after I've made a sale should I ship?

The earlier the better, but we know you aren’t Amazon Prime!

We expect sellers to ship within 3-4 days of receiving an order. We understand that this might not be possible sometimes. In that case, we ask that you please email us and your buyer to let them know the status of the order.

How will the buyer know that I've shipped?

When you check the box next to “notify shipment details to customer” on the page where you add tracking, that will automatically send an email to the buyer letting them know the item has shipped.
