How to Hop

A Step-by-Step Guide

The concept behind our virtual shop hop is exactly the same as taking a fabric shopping trip by car. On our "virtual" shop hop, however, you'll leave the car in the garage and can even shop in your jammies! You will have a month to get around the sites to find the "YouFoundIt" Bunnies to qualify to win prizes. There are 12 hops scheduled for 2026. Happy Hopping!

To join the hop, go to the FabShop Hop website to https://fabshophop.com/secure/register.aspx.

On the Prize Verification page, you will find instructions for registering the "YouFoundIt" bunny that brought you to this page. This is how you become eligible for random prize drawings and how we know you visited this website today.

Enter the email address you used to register to participate in the hop. Select the Register for Prizes button. This sends a message to our database that you registered for prizes and which website you visited.

If you like the shop you just visited and want to bookmark it to come back to later, scroll down to the "My Favorite Shops" section, check the box, add a reminder to yourself, and go back up to the Register for Prizes button and click again.

After you find the 'YouFoundIt' bunny, and register the bunny, return to the List of Shops page and work your way down the list from your starting point.
