    Fabric Stash is a great app. As someone with a rather large stash, the prospect of being able to keep track of it at all times is a rather exciting one. I do have a couple of suggestions that would make it even better. At the very least, I would include 3 more categories: width, weight, and location. Other features that would be wonderful include the ability to keep track of the non-yardage parts of the stash, like trim, bias tape, ribbon, thread, embroidery floss, lace, buttons, beads, etc. This can be achieved easily enough by including a Material category, or something similar. A search feature would be wonderful! The only other things I would include are in the project section, which are percent completed, and due date. Thanks for creating a great app, I’m looking forward to any updates you folks choose to do!

    It is truly refreshing that the *only* app in the iTunes store built specifically for the purpose of tracking your fabrics, is actually good and works. Usually when you find these niche apps with no competition, your hopes don’t get too high. This app delivers. Two things:

    1. I echo Rachel’s comments above – *especially* the note about a section for haberdashery items.

    2. There are a great deal of sewers that are not quilters (especially among the iPhone crowd). I have nothing against quilters, but as a younger male with a budding garment design company, the icon and opening screen of this app gave me pause. My first thought upon seeing the app’s icon… “It’s for quilters.” Folks in my demographic tend to lean toward the aesthetic and I can see those less curious than I passing on this app after a similar knee-jerk response.

    Still, this app knocks it out of the park. I am really excited to see where you go with it. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

    I love the fact you made An app for me. I stumbled on it by accident and love it. I would ditto the comments from previous remarks but add that anyone with a fabric stash isnt necessarily a quilter. I do sewing, quilting, and crafts. One thing I would like to see is a build your own library. You can’t believe the amount of patterns, books, leaflets, and magazines I have accumulated over the years. I even have duplicAtes because I forgot I aleady purchased it. Delicious Library is great but not practical for non-Mac owners. Surely you could help us out! Thanks for a great start on your sewing related apps!!

    Is there a way to delete a fabric from your stash once you’ve used it? I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I even have tried to delete a picture to replace it with something else.

    There is a way to delete fabrics, its the common delete method found in other apps like Mail. All you have to do is get to the view showing the list of your fabrics and do the one finger “swipe” gesture (drag finger from left to right across the row) on the fabric you want to remove from your database. When you do that a red Delete button should appear and pressing it will delete the fabric.
    Hope this helps out and lets us know if you have any further comments/questions!
