Do you always check through it right away to make sure that everything is included that should be included?

Or are you like me, and have a hard time putting stuff back in the package and just leave it as is and hope for the best?

Have you sometimes put it aside - to get to "later" - and then found that a key fabric is missing and you don't remember where you got it or misplaced the sales slip?

i've read enough less than happy experiences on here that i'd be sure to check the kit when received.

No i have several kits I didn't check. one I opened not too long ago and no pattern was inside. Grrrrr.

I've only bought one kit, so I do not have a lot of experience. I opened it on the day it arrived. I got "This Otter Be Fun" and one piece was not large enough no matter how I set it. I emailed the store and they made it right. I have heard many others say they have had things missing or incomplete instructions, so now I just make up my own things and use fabric from my stash.

We, I am off to check a kit I just bought. Hope it has enough fabric because I know I don't have any in my stash of several of the batiks. Thanks for the warning. Although I have not had a problem with kits before, one never knows.

Yes, I haven't purchased many quilting kits but I have purchased a lot of needlepoint kits in the past. I check them immediately before I lose the invoice. It's a lot easier to get customer service when you can return the item.

It's a good habit to get into. I bought a kit from a large shop in NH for my cousin. Didn't check it and waited to take it to her in a few months' time. A few weeks later, a piece of background fabric showed up in the mail, unrequested. Boy, was I impressed.

If you are going to buy a kit, I would highly recommend checking it out right away. I have only purchased 2 kits (from 2 different shops) and both had issues. No more kits for me!

lots2do - that is impressive!

No I don't and you'd think I'd learn. Way too many times I've gotten a kit because I love a certain fabric in the picture, only to find later some fabrics were substituted. And a few times there was no book or pattern included, usually missed by me when I bought it thinking it was all together.

I only had one kit my Daughter bought me years ago. There was so much fabric to it, that I did not check anything. I actually had enough fabrics for two quilt tops.
