    Craftsy change regarding kits??

    In another thread someone was questioning about buying kits. I thought I would ask you all if you noticed the changes at Craftsy regarding kits or is it just me. it seems the newer kits are not including the yardage amounts of fabric that is included in the kits. In the past, I have used the amounts to determine whether or not it was a good buy. Also, recently was the first time I did not desire any of their quilts. I just wasn't crazy about their fabric color choices or designs. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else feel the same way?

    Like you, I have not been impressed with the recent Craftsy quilt kits. The kits that I usually buy from Craftsy are the ones that go with classes I am taking and I have really liked those kits. I love the fabric for the Craftsy 2015 BOM!

    I have not been too impressed either with their limited selection. So many other online stores that carry a larger selection.

    The size of the quilt is a good indication of the amount of yardage in the kit. If I like the fabric choice and pattern that is all I need to know if it is a good buy for me. I buy some kits at clearance prices and that brings down the price of a kit I buy that is retail price or (raises the price of the clearance kits if you think that way). It all equals out.

    I buy most all my kits when there is a flash sale on Facebook from online shops, magazines, designers,manufacturers, etc. I bought a Jenny Beyer kit Monday on a flash sale for 60% off. I bought it for the fabric not the pattern.
    I love my life!

    I am a big fan of Craftsy for many reasons - great classes, fantastic customer service and I've gotten some slammin' deals on fabric. I'm not a kit buyer, but have bought a few just in order to get the fabric. Sometimes they have something I want, sometimes they don't, but I do check in pretty often. Thankfully, they don't have anything I want at the moment

    All you have to do is send an email and ask or suggest they put the yardage on their website.....they listen..great customer service.
