Hello Chenille Magic, My order arrived today on time and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the fabric. I almost ordered the swatches first to test out your product, but then decided to give it a shot because you really had all the fabric that I wanted in one place. I LOVE the Minky fabric, so much nicer than the pictures. It's absolutely gorgeous! I also ordered some chenille and will order more now that I know what great quality you have. I shopped around my area (San Diego) and didn't find anything close to what you offer. Just had to tell you how pleased I am and look forward to more shopping soon! Leslie |

I've been a customer of yours for a while
and have ALWAYS been satisfied. I just read the concerns that you
addressed with shoppers on the web. If you would like to include my
feedback as a customer on your webpage I would be happy to be quoted - I
have been buying wholesale for a year and half. I started buying
Minky from you, then shopped around and now ONLY buy from you because I
can count on the quality, the condition of the fabric, that it will be
in stock, and the timeliness of delivery. Thanks! Elizabeth

Dear Chenille Magic Staff - I have order
from you many times in the past both wholesale and retail, and each and
every time have received wonderful customer service, immediate delivery,
and quality goods. A few months ago I decided to try an order with your
web competitor (name removed as a courtesy) - rest assured I will never
shop with them again. Their site offered products that it became clear
after ordering they did not have. I was pre-charged in full, and when my
goods were not shipped it was necessary to go to my credit card company
for refund since my phone calls and e-mails received no response. My
experience with your company has never been anything but professional.
My most recent order was shipped the same day I ordered it, and received
with three days. THANK YOU!!! Kara |
| Dear Chenillemagic.com, Thank you so much for the wonderful product and customer service. I am making a bedding set for my baby due in June and I wanted to use chenille, particularly blue and yellow. I couldn't find really any selection or the colors of chenille I needed here in town so I tried the internet. Your fabrics were by far the best selection and my needed colors. So thank you for making my project possible! I received the fabric very promptly yesterday and I am very satisfied and happy with the color, quality, etc. I will return as a customer if I should need more chenille and for future sewing projects! Thanks again. Sincerely, Heather |

I just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for the very prompt service with my order. I received it today, and I'm very happy with the quality of your fabric. I have been unable to find very much chenille in my area and what I've found has not been as good of quality as what I've just received. I am in the process of making a baby bedding ensemble, so I am sure I'll be using your site in the near future!!
Thanks again, Sue Forrest

| Just a note to let you know I received my order. I absolutely love all the
fabric! The bargain size pieces will work perfectly for the quilt I am

In 1895, Catherine Evans was inspired by a family heirloom and made her first hand-tufted chenille bedspread. Five years later she sold a similar spread for $2.50.
Miss Evans moved to Dalton from a rural community in Whitfield County. Popularity of the chenille bedspread grew, and when she began receiving orders for her work, Miss Evans asked some of her neighbors to help her. Using quilting designs, she showed her helpers how to stamp the pattern on the fabric and make the chenille tufting stitches. From this beginning, Evans Manufacturing Company was established in 1917, and was operated by the founder until 1963 when the business was sold.
Early chenille bedspread operations were conducted in people's homes. The "company" furnished the stamped sheeting and chenille yarn for tufting to the women and children who did the work. Tufting is simply sewing yarn into the base fabric which, when laundered, shrinks around the base of the tuft causing it to "bloom" and stay in place. By the late 20's and early 30's, mechanization took the craft from the homes to factories, and the chenille tufted textile industry was successfully on its way.
The first chenille tufting machine was a Singer 31-15, normally used for sewing heavy textiles, such as tents and work clothes, but converted especially for tufting. About 1940, wide chenille tufting machines were built. Forerunners of today's giant carpet tufting machines, the early counterparts were used to turn out continuous rolls of tufted chenille fabric or cotton chenille rugs. Dozens of people claim credit for developing the first practical machine, and patents were issued to various inventors, but it is impossible to name any one inventor.
It is the chenille bedspread industry that eventually became our carpet industry of today. Until 1954 only cotton was used for tufting carpet. Rayon, wool, nylon and acrylics followed and became the fibers of the modern age of carpet, but the weaving process made it expensive and slow to produce. With the advent of man-made fibers and the huge multi-needle tufting machine, there have been dramatic changes in the carpet industry. A wide range of styles, patterns and colors is available at prices affordable in most budgets. Over 500 million yards of carpeting are tufted every year, and 65% of that is tufted in the Dalton, Georgia area where Miss Evans began the industry with her first hand tufted chenille bedspreads.
