Had two sales reps stop by this week. And, looking through their lines, I noticed that the size of the collections is getting smaller.
That doesn't bother me. But for those companies that offer charm packs... if they're still going to include 40 fabrics in the packs, but now they only have 25 - 30 fabrics in the collection, that means that there will be more duplicates in the pack.
What do you think? Is that a problem? Does it make the charm packs less appealing? Or will they still be as much fun to own?
Just curious...

For me they would be less desirable. I usually buy charm packs to get the variety so having duplicates wouldn't be a good thing. I wonder if they'll drop the count down but keep the price for 40 since fabrics are going up.

I'd also prefer all different fabrics. If the line is smaller, then the pack should be smaller also. I might buy two packs but then I would know that I'm getting two of each fabric. I really only buy the charm packs for the many different fabrics.

I don't think it would bother me--if there were 25 or so different ones in the charm pack--that would still be enough of a selection for me to do lots of things with. I guess I would hope, though, that the duplicates would be of the fabrics I liked the best... :wink:
