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.

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
