Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions customers ask about The Quilt Shop Navigator
Q: How often do I need to buy a directory?
A: As often as you want- Buy each region when you want to go to shows or are ready to travel. As many as 400 to 600 entries in our directories change every six months! With our low prices, you can still have the most up-to-date info as you need it.
Q: Why do you print your books twice each year?
A: To provide the the most up to date info for shops and to provide current quilting event information.
Q: Why do you spiral bind? Doesn't it cost more?
A: We prefer to spiral bind our directories so they are easier to use while traveling. It does not cost more to spiral bind, so we are able to offer our Regional directories for less then $7.00 apiece and our National for less than $12.00.
Q: How do I participate in the Ultimate Shop Hop?
A: Take your directory to any shop and have them sign and date your passport. Remember, advertisers will give double validation! The passport is located just in front of the pink pages.
Q: When are new editions available?
A: In May for odd # editions (July-December directories), November for even # editions (January-June directories).
Q: Can I preorder my next book?
A: Yes! Just make a note in the "Comments" field on the order form on our website, or when you call to order.
Q: Where do you find the quilts for your front covers?
A: The quilts featured on our Regional Directories are the winners of our Cover Quilt Contest. Many guilds from each of the five regions submit their raffle/opportunity quilts in hopes they will be selected to appear on our directory covers. Winning entries also receive a free full-page advertisement for their event! Deadline for submission is January 1 for odd # editions (July-Dec), and July 1 for even # editions (Jan-June). For more information visit our Cover Quilt Contest page.
Q: I have a shop, long arm quilting business or other quilting related business. How can I be listed in your books and on your website?
A: Please call 1-800-854-9239 for listing and advertising options. All Quilt and Fabric Shops receive a FREE Listing.
Q: Is WRBQ a radio station?
A: There is a radio station by that name, but we are not them! WRBQ is an acronym which stands for "We'd Rather Be Quilting".
Q: How did The Quilt Shop Navigator start?
A: Quilters traveling around the country looking for quilt shows discovered that an accurate source of information on the subject was not readily available. We created a booklet with event info and we grew from there. See our About Us page for the whole story!
