Dot Rewards

Earning points is easy!

$1 = 10 dots, and some social media activities, birthdays and referring friends are also rewarded with dots.

For those with stamp cards, 1 stamp = 200 dots. You are welcome to hold onto your completed stamp cards as long as you wish to redeem for a free meter, or get them converted to dots on your next visit.

You do not need an account to earn Dots, however you will need an account to redeem Dots, refer friends, and share on socials.

Minimum Dots you can redeem is 500 for $5 off your total order in-store or online.

Unfortunately, nothing can last forever. Any unredeemed Dots will automatically expire 24 months after they are earned.

How do I use my dots? Sign into your account and any awards available to you will be listed. Choose which reward you would like to use on your order.

You earn Dots on every dollar you purchase, so if you’re redeeming and have ordered more items, you will earn 10 Dots for every dollar you spend above the redeemed amount. You can only redeem one level of Dots per order.

Unless otherwise stated, the following are not considered qualifying purchases and will not accrue Dots:

  1. When redeeming Dots for a purchase;
  2. Taxes and fees required by law, bag fees, shipping fees, and other fees;
  3. Trapunto gift card purchases, but when a gift card is used to make a qualifying purchase you will accrue Dots.
Free Shipping over $250 will apply after all discounts and taxes, including the redeeming of Dots.

We reserve the right to change the level of earning required for each Dot and the redemption schedule for this program.

No rights in Dots. Dots are not property and you have no vested right or interest in Dots. Dots have no cash value. Dots are not assignable or transferrable between accounts or otherwise, and Dots cannot be combined across accounts, regardless of who registered the account. 

Trapunto's Dot rewards can change from time to time. Trapunto reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, change, modify or discontinue Dot rewards, in whole or in part, including any terms, rules, features, benefits, rewards, conditions of participation, Dots accruing or accumulation ratio, the Dots redemption policy, the Dots expiration policy, or any other aspect of the Program at any time, with or without advance notice, even though changes may affect Dots and rewards already in your account. 

Pre-Orders

Pre-order fabric is not currently in stock.

Purchasing a pre-order item means you are reserving the fabric by paying up-front before Trapunto receives the fabric from the supplier.

Pre-order listings have an expected arrival date, but it can change which is out of our control. We will update any changes as information becomes available.

When a pre-order arrives, orders will be cut and shipped immediately. Placing a pre-order promises you will get your fabric before anyone else.

If you place a pre-order with in-stock items, we will hold your order until the pre-order items arrive. 

If you would like the in-stock items to be shipped right away, instead of waiting for pre-orders to arrive, please place a separate order.

FAQ

Unless otherwise stated in the product title or description all of our fabric is 100% cotton.

Tips on navigating our website.

We sell yardage by the centimetre. Our minimum is 25cm (10 inches). Any orders with less that amount will be refunded and cancelled.
  • You can search for any theme, colour, brand or item you are looking for using the magnifying glass or the three lines in the top left will open a menu. 
  • You may click on any image to be taken to another page to see what other colours or prints are available.
  • You may sign up to receive notifications when a product is stocked by entering your email on the product page of a "coming soon" item.

Why no lettermail option for shipping?

We charge what it costs us to ship packages using weight and dimensions outlined by Canada Post. The products we sell simply do not fit into the letter mail category, nor does it cost $4 to ship, even within the province of Alberta. If we offered this option, we would be losing money and potentially not making any profit on a sale.

Unless you’re purchasing from fabric dot com, which is a sister company to Amazon (that has it's own trucks, trailers, and aircraft to be able to undercut every other business and mail carrier), or another large retailer that is able to readily absorb that cost due to massive sales volumes, that small local business is eating the actual cost of shipping to give you that cheaper option. Food for thought when you want to "support local".

How does curbside pickup work?

When you’ve filled your cart with goodies, start the checkout process by selecting local pickup or shipping and entering your information. 

Once your payment is successful you will get an email confirming your order. Processing time varies depending on how many orders we have to pack. When we have finished packing your order you will get another notification saying it is ready to be picked up! 

About Us

Trapunto – "to quilt" in Italian (we're not Italian) is a family business located in Edmonton, Alberta which started in 2016 as a way to share our love of quality quilting fabric, hand embroidery, and notions with others.

We are passionate about the brands we carry, looking to bring fresh and unique fabric to Alberta's capital. Our brick and mortar opened in March 2019, and we are so thrilled to be a part of Edmonton's sewing community.

Dorothy is the owner of Trapunto. Her passion for quilting started during summer meetings of the Conjuring Creek Women’s Institute. She already loved fabrics and sewing; therefore, creating quilts became a passion. While working full-time managing super duper, complicated engineering projects cut into time for making quilts; it did allow time to become a knowledgeable quilter. Dorothy currently serves on the Edmonton and District Quilt Guild as Treasurer.

Jamie is our wearer of many hats. Jamie's the one behind this very website and our social media content among other things. While not quite a quilter, she enjoys hand embroidery, video games, and is a member of the Edmonton Needlecraft Guild and joined the executive to oversee Exhibits & the Newsletter.

Karen is our resident longarm quilter. Having been a quilter for ages, she bought her own longarm machine in 2002 going in hard after using her domestic to quilt. Entirely self-taught she's been longarming for a solid decade. We're so happy that the time was right for her to get back into longarming and join our team.

Sandra is our warm and kind friend that brings enthusiasm and joy to what some might consider menial tasks. She is a true fabric enthusiast, keeps our shelves neat, our fat quarters from being naked, and stitches up samples. She is also the Edmonton District Quilt Guild's Librarian.

Colour Disclaimer

Actual colours of our fabric may vary. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. We source images from the manufacturer and when those aren't available, try to edit our photos to show the samples as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual colour may vary slightly from your monitor. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product.

Shipping Policy

As a small business, please understand we are not able to compete with large retailers.

Our goal is to offer you the best shipping options, no matter where you live. We deliver to customers across the world and try to ensure that we provide the very highest levels of responsiveness to you at all times.

All flat rate boxes include tracking and on-time delivery guarantee across Canada, varying by destination. 

A small Flat Rate box can hold roughly 8 meters of regular cotton fabric or 4 meters of flannel and costs $18.49. If you order more than those amounts, there are Medium and Large boxes for $23.49 or $29.99 respectively. 

Why no Lettermail option for shipping?

We charge what it costs us to ship packages using the weight and dimensions outlined by Canada Post. The products we sell simply do not fit into the letter mail category, nor does it cost $4 to ship, even within the province of Alberta.

If we offered this option, we would be losing money and potentially not making any profit on a sale. If there is a difference in what Shopify has estimated vs the actual cost to ship, we will refund the difference.

Free shipping over C$200 before tax applies to Canadian addresses only.
