I have made two kits. One, I ran out of fabric the second one, I added some fabric from my stash. You've gotten some great advice. Always check to see if you kit has everything and read thru the directions to see if some of the fabric is "too close for comfort" as in you can't make a mistake. If you have a color that is a no mistake fabric, substitute one that you have that you can afford to make a mistake with. Also, sew with a scant 1/4". My 1/4" foot is a large 1'4". So I know not to use it on kits.
