Precuts might be the biggest rip off in quilting… and no one wants to admit it.
After seeing what comes into our shop from the children of deceased quilters, one thing is clear — stacks of unused precuts. Jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs… beautiful fabric that never got used.

Most patterns that use precuts:
• Don’t use every piece
• Leave leftovers
• Waste part of each cut
• Cost more per yard

And the most expensive fabric you can buy… is the fabric you never use.

What do YOU think? Are precuts worth it or a waste of money?
