Introduction to Special Orders

Every quilting or sewing project is unique. While many projects can be completed with materials that are readily available in store, some designs require specific fabrics, specialty materials, or unique supplies that may not always be part of regular inventory. When this happens, having access to special order services can make a significant difference.

At L&L Sales in Clarkson, Kentucky, our special order service allows customers to request fabrics, quilting materials, and sewing supplies that may not currently be available in the shop. This service helps ensure that customers can continue their projects without compromising their design or creative vision.

Since opening in 1984, L&L Sales has worked closely with the quilting community in Breckinridge County, Hart County, and surrounding Kentucky areas. Our special order service exists to help customers find exactly what they need for their projects.

Whether you are looking for a particular fabric pattern, a specific quilting supply, or specialty sewing materials, our team works to help locate and order the products required to complete your project successfully.

Special Orders for Quilting and Sewing Supplies

Finding the perfect piece for your puzzle

For many customers, this service provides peace of mind knowing that their quilting project can continue even when specific materials are not immediately available.

Special order services help eliminate this challenge. Instead of searching across multiple stores or waiting for new inventory, customers can request the items they need through our shop. This service allows quilters to maintain the original vision of their project.

Quilting and sewing projects often rely on carefully chosen fabrics and materials. Many patterns call for particular colors, fabric types, or supplies that help bring the design together. When those materials are difficult to find locally, the project may feel incomplete or delayed.

If a pattern calls for a certain fabric collection or a specific type of batting or backing, a special order request helps locate the correct materials. Special orders also support customers who are working on custom quilts or detailed designs that require unique fabrics. By sourcing these materials when possible, we help ensure that projects can move forward smoothly.

Materials That Can Be Special Ordered

Quilting Fabrics

Special orders may include quilting fabrics that are part of specific collections or patterns. These are often selected to match certain quilt designs and may be difficult to find once initial stock has sold out.

Batting & Backing

Quilt batting and backing materials can also be requested. These materials are essential to completing a quilt and may be needed in particular sizes or fabric types depending on the project.

Crafting Tools

Customers may also request sewing supplies, embroidery materials, yarn products, or other crafting tools that support their work. Our goal is to assist in locating these whenever possible.

How the Special Order Process Work

The special order process at L&L Sales begins when a customer identifies a product or material that is not currently available in store. Customers can visit the shop and speak with our team about the specific item they are looking for.

Once the request is reviewed, we work to identify potential suppliers that may carry the requested product. If the item is available through one of our suppliers, we place the order and notify the customer when the materials arrive.

Providing details about the requested product helps us determine whether it can be ordered. Information such as fabric collections, material types, product names, or pattern requirements can assist with locating the correct item.

Our goal throughout this process is to make obtaining specialty materials as simple and convenient as possible, while allowing you to work with a trusted local quilting store.
