I guess I am a control freak. Anything that takes the process out of my hands makes me uncomfortable. Also not having 'free-rein' with my own fabric choices bothers me. Am I the only one who feels this way? |

Am I the only one who feels this way? I'm with you on this one....always felt it was a waste of money buying pre-cuts of any sort. Have you priced them versus a yard of fabric...geeze not worth it to me. I too love the process! Also, after reading some of the comments here many of them are not cut properly and that would truly aggrivate me to no end. |
Personally, I love the precuts, though I don't buy them that often. The places I shop (mostly JoAnn's) don't carry very many, but I have ordered them from Connecting Threads--which was a good experience. Whatever makes the process easier!
|
I bought a jelly roll once. Finally used some for other projects and then a using the rest by adding more fabric for a strip quilt.
|
The only pre-cuts I occasionally use are fat quarters. I've bought charms once on a whim and used them to make stuffed blocks for my baby group babies. I'm not really a scrappy quilter at this point and I find packs of 40+ different fabrics...for ONE quilt...a little overwhelming and chaotic for me.
|
Then call me the odd ball. I have trouble cutting and hate to cut, precuts are one way to get me started instead of procastinating over the cutting. I only buy from a few trusted sites and so far only moda. Since I love all the Mary Engelbreit fabrics her charm squares and jelly rolls are wonderful. I've almost finished my first quilt with them.
|
I agree here. I love the pre cut squares - good variety, and don't have to buy 46 different yardage cuts. Besides, I want to sew, don't want to cut!
|
I never buy fabric unless I know what I am going to use it for. Therefore, I never buy pre-cuts and only buy FQ when I have a particular need for them. In the past I bo't fabric that I loved and never did find a use for so it laid here for many years.
|
Part of the joy of quilting for me is the process of planning the quilt the selection of the pattern and designing and choosing the fabric. I have never considered buying the pre-packaged fabric cuts. Everyone has there own approach. The main thing is to enjoy quilting and being creative.
Happy quilting to all Severna |
