The YARD CARD has been used since 2006. For every $10 purchase of regular price merchandise, you receive a punch on the "Yard Card". Once the card is full, you receive $10 in credit toward your next purchase. This has been a great tool, and many shoppers have received credit for their patronage. However, it does have it's downfalls....lost card mean lost credit. Purchases under $10 do not receive any credit. All purchases are anonymous, there is no record of previous purchases.
We also have the VIQ program. This program was started in 2018. The benefits with this program are an instant 10% discount on every regular priced fabric purchase. Additional 5% off clearance priced fabrics. A birthday card/gift during the month of your birthday. One hour of free use of the long arm quilting machine per year ($30 value). One extra day of Shop Hop shopping at MFQS (when Shop Hops resume). Cost for this program is a $25 initial membership joining fee, $15 annual renewal membership fee after first year.
