Quacker Factory

I enjoy Angel when she is on. She is so sweet. However, I sure wish QF would bring other tops besides decorated t shirts.

Back in the day they had button front shirts and cute cardigans. I still have an autumn one and a Christmas one. They are probably 20-25 yrs old and I still wear them. So cute.

I know it is expensive to make these items and they would probably not sell because of what they would have to charge. Even so, I miss them.

I can't stand the rhinestone embellishments on everything, and there's no way they can be removed. They have some nice applique and embroidery then have to add the rhinestones to cheaper the look. Too bad. I watch, never buy.

I've always loved their clothes. The quality is beautirful.

You can find a lot of the older items on eBay.

Very pricey.

I'd love to see those large, cute, unique QF buttons that were popular years ago.

Maybe on denim shirts or jackets. ?

@Kachina624 I agree. Quacker Factory has some of the best quality embroidery, but then they add rhinestones and/or sequins and it keeps me from ever buying it.

DG2 has a fabulous denim jacket with what looked like hand painting on the back. It almost looked watercolored. It was gorgeous -- until they added a big ornate sequined dragonfly taking up an entire corner of the jacket.

I was so annoyed. I wanted that jacket so much, but the ridiculous sequined dragonfly on top of the painting stood out like a sore thumb. I wish I could've been in the design room to say, Stop!

Rhinestones on clothes are usually heat-set and they can be removed by using a hot iron on the reverse side of the fabric. The heat from the iron will soften the glue holding the rhinestones in place. You'll need tweezers to grab and remove each of the rhinestones and do it quickly before the glue sets up again.

Sometimes placing the garment in a freezer will make the rhinestone glue brittle and that will make removal easy but not a guarantee.

I enjoy the seasonal fashions by QF but I'm not a fan of 3/4 sleeves. I would prefer long sleeves.

I watched the Quacker show last night. Angel is a really good presenter. They used to have what they called "quiet Quacker", which was pretty with very minimal embellishments. I myself prefer the quiet Quacker line. I wouldn't wear the festive tops.

I have never worn rhinestones or sequins on anything in my life

I've always appreciated Angel. Thought she was the perfect choice to represent Quacker Factory after Jeanne Bice passed.

Sequins, rhinestones, and fancy embroidery have their place. I have a couple QF pieces I've had forever because I rarely wear them and the quality is amazing.

These days QF is too expensive, as are most of the clothing brands on QVC. I watch but don't buy.

I still wear a QF denim jacket that I bought (from Jeanne Bice) many years ago. Angel was a model in those days.

It's all embroidered with scenes of NYC.

Well, I for one, like the rhinestone embellishment. Most of them are tastefully done, in my humble opinion. (I tend to steer clear of the sequins these days because of the care involved.)

I can buy a plain old top anywhere and I do. But I love the sparkle and don't care what anyone else thinks. I get more compliments on my QF than on anything else.

Is Quacker Factory leaving QVC? All their clothing is either on sale or clearance? I sure hope not. Thanks!

@TexasProud59 Not quite everything is on sale. I suspect they want to clear out current stock to make room for fall & holiday items.

I've only got a few QF items but I like the line. It is distinctive.

Does anyone remember the 50 in 50 tour? I was in the audience at Cypress Gardens the day QVC was there and saw Jeanne presenting QF. She won a spot and the rest is history.

Speaking of 3/4 sleeves (all brands), I have often hemmed or jujjed them up so they are elbow length (or ballet length.....just below the elbow).

I watch the shows just to see Angel. I never got to see Jeanne.

When I first started here I bought a pair of jeans and really liked them. I still buy her pants once in a while if they don't have too many stones on them.

I used to look at my friends who taught elementary school and say QF is perfect for them!

As far as the shirts now. I love the colors, and I love the material. I often wish they could make the shirts like that without all of the embellishment. I do have one I bought in 2024, and it doesn't have too many on it.
