I don't think that's is a question of "so stupid." I just think that some people would rather have the convenience of having things cut and ready to go. Also, some people have problems with their hands and can't cut all that fabric. Arthritis is a big issue with us old folk. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I realize that, That is why I have Altos Quilt cut. I have BAD hands and not a problem when cutting with it.

I don't think it's a question of them thinking we are stupid. I think it's good marketing on their part. For health reasons, some of us have difficulty cutting and for convenience sake for us that work these precut pieces can prove to be a real timesaver. Even for those who don't work - a precut pack would allow a person to whip up a quilt in no time.

I like pre cuts but I'm trying to get away from buying so many. Even the alto would be difficult for me as the problem I have is holding onto my cutter and keeping it up against the side of the ruler. Holding the ruler down is the least of my (many) issues.

I have no problems cutting and I still buy pre-cuts and I know I'm not stupid.. Its a time saver so I can spend more time with my little girl..Sounds pretty smart to me..

But it's scary. Soon they won't need us to sew the pcs together !! LOL

Actually, being in the middle of carpal tunnel surgery, right hand two weeks ago, left hand this week, I can tell you that those charm pks, and all the rest of the pre-cuts are indeed a wonderful help to those of us who would be at a loss were it not for them.

I'm still considering an Accuquilt fabric cutter for that very reason. But the other day I tried one out and geez it's tough to crank that handle. I don't know, I think I might stick with the good old rotary wheel and mat for the time being. I'm following the information on this forum from the users of this product. If any of you have any information about this item, check out the topic on this forum - I'd sure be interested in your stories. Thanks.

To me, the appeal of the precuts is not avoiding cutting so much as having a wide selection of different fabrics, without having to purchase yardage. I like scrappy quilts far better than "planned" so the precuts, with some of my own stash thrown in to mix it up a bit, give me a good variety with minimal time and energy spent on the collecting part.

Never thought of it that way. Good idea.
