One thing quilters often need is a far-away view of the material. Many
of us even carry reverse-magnifying glasses, to make the material look
smaller.
Perhaps it would be useful to have images that show the pattern, reduced
in size. You'd have to try it to see what effect you get.
Also, it may just be the prices. I can go to Joann's Fabrics and get
good prints for much less than $9/yd, and not have to pay shipping. How
about free shipping if you order reaches a certain amount? (Obviously
these are issues for your client, but think about bringing them up)
Your home page says "beautiful quilts and wall hangings", but I see no
where to view or order these. You at least need some samples. Have you
been to a physical quilt/fabric store? If not, go visit one. You'll see
sample quilts, block-of-the-month quilt square kits, supplies (mats,
rotary cutters, rulers, etc).
Some website ideas:
1. packages, showing coordinating fabrics, and maybe even a quilt
template
2. ability to search by keyword. I once did a quilt of strawberry
fabrics. But I can't search for "strawberry".
FWIW, the website looks nice and was easy to use.
