how much do quilt kits costs and do they sell them pre cut?
There are pre-cut quilts and they vary in price. There are many patterns currently on the market using "pre-cuts" which are generally pre-cut 5" charm squares, 2 1/2" strips (Jelly rolls), or 5" strips pre-cut, layer cakes (10" squares pre-cut) etc.
Those patterns usually involve a minium of cutting.
The accu-quilt go is a bit pricey but if you are making charity quilts and you think you would be using similar shapes, it would probably be worth it to you. If you have a group of quilters that you stitch with, perhaps your "group" can purchase together.
The more reasonable tool for cutting squares in my opinion is the june taylor shape cut, which others have mentioned. Gosh I find that thing fast and accurate and it really speeds up the cutting process for me.
Here is a link to their instructional video on youtube. i can't seem to get it to work on their site, but the youtube version is the same thing. Any questions about it, please ask me.
