    I would love buying the pre-cuts, but the prices scare me away. Plus, I am scared I would run out of whatever I had and not be able to get more to finish.

    Way too pricey for the rolls. Even tho you and the staff would have to make time, I think it would be a wise investment with the Accuquilt Studio cutter and start with the 2 1/2" strip and 5" dies to make your own bundles. You could even rent it out for customers to use after a quick class on procedure and safety. Some even have a personal Go cutter and are selling the die-cuts.

    Charm pack - 40 5" squares = 2/3 yards
    Candy Bar - 80 2-1/2 x 5 strips = 1-1/3 yards
    Jelly Roll - 40 2-1/2 x WOF strips = 2-3/4 yards
    Layer Cake - 40 10" squares = 2-3/4 yards
    Honey Bun - 40 1-1/2 x WOF strips = 1.8 yards
    Turnover - 40 6" squares = 1 yard

    Keep those figures in mind when buying precuts. However, having the strips and squares on hand in many, many different fabrics is also convenient.

    I agree with the rest of the ladies; it's too expensive. I don't want to pay that much of a premium just for the convenience of having it precut for me.

    I emailed them asking why the price is so high for so little fabric.

    At my LQS, I have found in some cases that 1/4 yard cuts are cheaper than FQs. I don't know why this surprised me. So I will usually get a !/4 of a yard and have some for my stash.

    I would also prefer quarter yard cuts a few at a time and make my own jelly roll or layer cakes
