NOW 60% Off! All IN STOCK items!
The final count down is on...our very last day is only 8 days from today!
We are open for our last days this coming weekend (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). We will close our doors for in-store shopping at 3pm on Saturday June 27th! We hope that you will come to visit us one last time for some great last minute deals if you are local.
We still have more than 1200 available items in our catalogue so we aren't done yet!
Our final day for accepting all orders will be Sunday, June 28th at 5 pm MDT so that we can ship everything by our final day of June 30th. Our web site, telephone lines, credit card processing etc. will all be closed down at the end of the day June 30th. Our email address (janice@traditionalstitches.com) will stay active but I won't be checking it daily after the 30th.
We have little gifts for all in-store purchases...please ask for yours when you are checking out. The gift items that we have may change the postage charge for mail orders so aren't able to include them for orders being mailed.

Shop Models! We still have about 15 shop models that need to find new homes. Please visit our shop to have a look. All of our models are framed with glass so we aren't shipping them...in-store pick up only.
"Garage Sale" - in-store only - we've displayed some gently used items (floor and table stands, scroll rods etc.) in an area of our shop at very inexpensive prices. If you are coming to visit our shop, be sure to check them out.
Traditional Stitches Exclusives - be sure to order your mementos of Traditional Stitches' 26 years in business. We've had some pretty special samplers and accessories made for us over the years...what a great memory!
Did you know that with our sale, our DMC floss is just $0.64 (Canadian) per skein? We filled an order for a customer who emailed to say she had a $400 budget for DMC floss...how many skeins would that be? The answer was 625 skeins for $400 (plus postage and tax)! Wow!
I listed all of our in-stock DMC floss on our web site this morning. All of the colors on this list are in stock at the time of writing. In most cases, we have 5 or 6 skeins of each color on hand so I only counted down quantities on the ones that were 1 or 2 skeins only. Please order as many as you would like and we will fill your order as best we can:
DMC Cotton Floss
I also listed our Anchor floss this way...and we've got a lot! If you enjoy stitching with Anchor, the last I heard it isn't available from distributors in North America any longer so stock up while you can! Here is our list:

Have you checked out our Master Product List instead of having to go in and out of each category on our web site? You can just click through all of our products page by page to see them all. The listings are in no particular order...enjoy browsing them At the time of writing, we've got just over 1200 product listings on our web site so there is still tons of selection.

I've also now made a Master Fabric List where again, you can see them all in one place instead of
checking each category. As of the time of writing, there are fewer than 50 cuts of fabric available in our shop!

And...I've made a Master Needle List that shows all of the needles we have in stock in one place. I found a lost stash of needles while I was cleaning a bookshelf so have listed those (#26 John James Bulk Pack, #10 John James tapestry point short beading needles bulk pack and #26 John James Chenille Needles bulk pack) Be sure to have a look:

Traditional Stitches Inventory Clearance Sale Details
We are taking orders through our web site, by email and in our shop during our regular open hours.
You do NOT need a coupon code for this sale. ALL orders that we receive will automatically have the discount applied when we manually process your order. Postage and any applicable tariffs will not be discounted.
We are working hard to manage our inventory and to remove items from our web site as soon as we realize that they are sold out. This is not a perfect process so please be aware of that since we accept orders in several ways: customers shopping in our store, web site orders, email orders and telephone orders.
I would say that our web site inventory is about 90% accurate with the exception of the threads that we haven't been able to count out in drop-down lists as yet.
If you poke around our web site, you will see that we are working on counting down our inventory on hand. You will see notes like "~ 1 only" on many items or if you click into a particular linen, you will see that we have limited the cut sizes that we are offering.
Please note that if you put something in your cart or on your Wish List, it doesn't hold that item for you. We aren't notified to pull an item and remove it from our web site until your order is completed and you have received an order confirmation email.
We are currently open for everyone to visit during our NEW hours as follows:
Thursday and Friday 10am to 5pm
Saturday 10am to 3pm
We are closed for the lunch hour every day (noon to 1pm).
We are currently closed all Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
