I don't but I know that Leah Day does and she's done videos on what she's made with them.

I have done it for about six years.
Does that also cover shipping?

I get Sew Sampler box. There is a facebook group that you can exchange or sell any of the Sew Sampler boxes or items you don't care for. There is a waiting list on Sew Sampler of five- six months because the items for the boxes are ordered six months in advance and no way to increase the amount of boxes per month.
The Quilty Box is higher in price then Sew Sampler. The Sew Sampler is getting better as the curators have learned what the customers like in the boxes. There is survey email to rate each item in the box every month.
I like getting it every month. Seems it always arrives when I need a little pick me up.

The total for Sew Sampler box is $29.90 which includes shipping. I get an email saying it's time to pay for the box a few days before it's sent. There is a .99 one time registration fee which I think is rather tacky but I guess they want every penny they can get.

My daughter gave me a Quilty Box 3 month subscription, which I thought was very thoughtful. When I received the boxes I realized the value they placed on the box was an exaggeration. They would also be mis-leading on what your fabric size actually was. I seem to remember a fat quarter bundle was actually a fat eighth bundle. They say the value of their patterns are like $10 - but I would never actually pay for those patterns, so it wasn't really a value to me. Of the three, I have only used one of the patterns and fabrics. The tools they sent were good. The rest of the fabrics are on hold for a better pattern.

I ordered a Sew Sampler and felt like it was a better value and got one box. I read that the next box had another Olfa cutter (they give hints) and really didn't need one in red so I cancelled. I haven't felt motivated to renew.

I have watched the youtube openings and found a few products I didn't know existed, so there is some value there.

It appears to include shipping from what I read. One thing is for sure, I know what I doing for my step-mom's birthday this year!

I considered it, but I don't want to spend the money. I can buy a lot more fabric than comes in that box for the prices some of them are charging. It's a neat idea, but seems a little expensive, especially if I end up with something I don't like or won't use.

I haven't found the name brand fabrics in the box cheaper anywhere. I give the items I don't want to guild for door prizes. This months's box was great. It is getting a lot better then when it first started. I've been reading that this next year's BOM pattern from the box is going to be very good.
