Quacker Factory

I've not bought from this line but watching the rerun presentation this morning and impressed how well Angel presents the items and gives detailed information about the clothes. If Ali would quit talking about her personal stuff, it would be really nice. Angel is doing a great job.

Ali never stops with her kids/running/herself its a turn the channel for me

we all think our kids and activities are the best thing in the world but no one wants to hear it.

I think she's cute as a button but just can't sit through any of her presentations. I always thought she was a "valley girl" because of the way she speaks but she said she's from Louisiana this morning. Had me fooled.

Angel is one of the more experienced brand reps that is not afraid to wrangle the presentation away from the nonsense talking host, back to the fashion itself.

Thank you Leah, Jayne Brown, Courtney, and Pat, Terri, and Rosina. They've mastered the ability to keep their personal life mostly personal and respect the viewer that's trying to shop.

Ali tells her redundant personal stories as if we're on the edge of our seats waiting to hear all about her travels, races, kids' lives, mountain climbing, etc. Her stories are just so long-winded.

I like Angel a lot! I think she's does a great job explaining each item in detail, I have a agree about Ali as a host. I find her presentations vey lacking and annoying!

I noticed this back when they had the beauty channel and she was one of the main hosts for beauty items. One time in particular I was interested in a lipstick that was being presented. Ali and the vendor (I don't remember what brand they were presenting) held up the lipsticks but never once talked about the shades!

It was all about how you could wear it on a date with your significant other... then like schoolgirls they both went on about their husband and boyfriend!

This happens all the time with Ali. She seems disinterested in talking about the product. It's the vendor's livelihood, and she quickly turns it into something about her and her family.

It would help if she gave all of her attention to the product and then if there is time left, start yammering about herself.

Angel is great and enjoyable to watch. Ali talks so fast and so much she is hard to understand. Instant turn off for me.

Angel is an excellent Rep who is knowledgeable abt the Quaker clothes she's presenting . Gives pertinent info abt inseams and fabric care.

Ali used to be different, I think she's getting prompts to relate to customers by talking abt her family. She used to give details abt the items she was presenting now it fast talking so she can talk abt her family.She's turing into JT

Turn the channel

My mother loved the items I would purchase for her that were Quacker Factory.

When she passed I kept a pair of jeans that she had liked and I wear them now. They were too long on her but she loved how her grandchildren would always make a comment about them.

There was another pair of pants that she loved that had horses on them and were cords and the loved loved these pants. With time she lost quite a bit of weight and was never able to wear the pants again but one of my sister's kept the pants because she remembered how her kids loved seeing grandma in those pants.

@Caaareful Shopper - You said this so well! I think the first or second time I saw her as a host when she was new, I knew everything about her children, which is OK with me once in a while, and the fact that she had been "Mrs. Minnesota." She works that fact into a lot of her shows. Again, nothing wrong with mentioning that once or twice, but it's been more than that! I thought she must have taken lessons from one of our more "seasoned" hosts!

I think Angel is a great vendor. I also think she would be a great host - IF she were allowed to keep her calm ways and not be forced to be like some who seem to have had too much caffeine!

An oldie but goodie ....

I have an embellished denim jacket from QF from years ago. It's a NY

skyline theme embroidery and applique.

It's got to be close to 20 years old. I'm quite fond of that jacket!
