Edie, Great post. For a minute I thought I'd written it, but then you started talking "those other guys" and I knew it wasn't me.
Frank has added some new fabrics, and about 50 new samples showing the reverse side of many of the Countess, and deep silks and satins. my favorite is the "Black" side of the Saphire......
You are right about paying for samples that with just a few jobs, pay for themselves.
Check out your copy of DECOR next week (Oct) and keep selling that fabric.
BTW: Frank's also with wrap your mat, liner, and even embossed mats with any of our fabrics. Over 400. Swatch book set is $120 3"x6" swatches. Mat corners are $2/ and liners are $3/.
