I don't, at least not now that we sell the big shot. It works great with fabric! If we didn't have anything to use it with then yeah, it would be a reach. I don't think they are going to have a ton of it either, just some. I think it lends itself well to the craft. I have been making ornaments out of it and then I can make a box with my paper and stamps to gift it in. Just my opinion though:-)
I love that we can make items with fabrics that coordinate with stamps and papers. How sweet would it be to have beautiful invitations to an afternoon tea, then when the guests arrive the napkins and bread cloths match the invitations?
SU isn't the only crafting company to offer some fabric in their wonderful prints. Basic Grey is doing the same. It'll probably never be a core line, but I don't see why it couldn't be a fun side line.
I agree with Minders; it's a nice accessory to have to go with the Big Shot. It's also perfect for gift sets where you can make a beautiful fabric covered journal and coordinating cards etc. While I didn't care too much for the patterns offered in the Holiday Mini I look forward to seeing the new options in the future!
I think its great. Lots of people like to use fabric in their projects and this makes for one stop coordinated shopping. As someone mentioned, they also offer the Big Shot, which works well with fabric.
I think fabric is a newer trend in papercrafting and other scrapping companies are offering it. To be able to have fabric that coordinates with stamps/paper is great. Especially since it can be used with dies.

It's not a stretch to offer two coordinating packs of fat quarters in a holiday mini catalog. Is it really any different than offering a special ribbon or holiday decor kits? They're available for a limited time and in small enough quantities that it will allow SU to capitalize on the huge fabric trend in the paper crafting world without making a big product commitment. Now, instead of running to JoAnn's to buy fabric for 3D flowers, gifts, and holiday decorations, you can get it right from SU in your favorite crafting patterns and colors to coordinate with all of your paper crafts.
I think it is great. I like the fact that fabric is more durable than paper and if I want to make a gift that will last - fabric is the way to go. I think they are trying to reach not only the paper crafter but the general crafter too.
I think alot of crafters aren't just papercrafters........we sew, knit, paint, crochet, bead, quilt, and anything else that isn't LAUNDRY and DISHES!! LOL!! I know I have dabbled with at least 1/2 of those that I mentioned!
