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 ā stacks of unused precuts. Jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs⦠beautiful fabric that never got used.
Most patterns that use precuts:
⢠Donāt 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?
