New Products

We've now added copper foil in addition to our gold and silver foil. We are also selling them in bulk now so it's lowered the everyday price to $2.95/foot as opposed to the old package price of $4.95/foot.

We've re-stocked and added many new Chinese Brocade styles. The best thing is that they are still $19.95/yd (about $14.25 US) which is one of the cheapest prices in Canada and the US. Samples are $5.00 set + $1 for shipping

Pentel Hybrid Pens: Pentel has added 6 more colours to their semi-opaque metallic line. In addition to gold and silver, we now carry a copper, metallic green, bronze, metallic purple, metallic green and a metallic pink - $2.25/each

Bubble Jet Set: Ink Jet and Bubble Jet ink set for cotton and silk fabric. All you have to do is soak your fabric in this solution. Hang to dry. When dry, iron to freezer paper and feed through your inkjet or bubble jet printer. Colours will set permanently 24 hours after printing. This product is excellent for quilting squares and silk scarves. Sold in 1.0 bottle (for about 3-4 yards fabric) $30.00.

FabricFun Pastels & Watercolor Dyes: These are two different products for all natural fabrics. The Pastels are fabric crayons that one applies directly. The Watercolor dyes allow you apply watercolor techniques to fabrics. Both products are set by ironing. Sold in sets.

Pastels (15) $ 5.95
Pastels (7) $ 3.95
Watercolor Dyes (12) $11.00

Shibori: Art of Japanese Shaped Resist Dyeing is no longer available in hard cover form. In it's place is the soft cover version. The price has dropped to $77.00 (was $191.95 in HC). So this is a great opportunity to own the "bible" to Shibori.

 

Shibori: The art of fabric dying, folding, pleating and dyeing: A much simpler book than the above one, but still quite informative with great colour photos. $19.95

 

 

Mickey Lawler's SKY DYES: Quilters and fiber artists know Mickey Lawler's SKYDYES as the finest individually hand-painted cotton fabrics available. Now you can learn Mickey's techniques and create your own unique sky, sea and garden fabrics! $39.95

Speaking Engagements

over 50Km distances from Toronto (calculated one way). Extra speaking or workshop time is calculated at $25-35/hour depending on if it's a speaking or a hands on workshop. Material fees are extra with workshops.

Similar to the above, G&S Dye is fully prepared to be a guest teacher at your quilting shop.

Consulting

If you own a quilting business or store, we'll even come in and consult to help improve dyeing techniques and to make it more efficient. A recent consultation easily saved my customer hours of frustration. The refresher lesson reassured that she was doing it correctly and she learned how to do it even more quickly.

G&S Dye has been in business for over 13 years now and our no nonsense approach to business and technique may be beneficial to your business.
