Default Kits from Craftsy

I am considering buying a kit from Craftsy. Can anyone tell me if they are generous with their fabrics? This particular quilt has directional prints and sections that need to be fussy cut. When I have bought kits in the past, I have been shorted by an inch, not having enough material to "square up the fabric", etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have purchased a few kits from crafty and have never run short. One time I messed up a block, was worried I would run short but had plenty to remake the whole block over. Another kit I cut a whole section incorrectly. I contacted them & they replaced the fabric. It was a Jenny Beyer quilt. They ( crafty) are the only place I buy kits from. I do not go through & square up all the fabrics I receive though. I follow the cutting instructions and cut according to the chart.

I have bought several and have had no issues - however the ones that I bought were not directional.

I bought one kit from Craftsy but I bought it for the fabric and did not make the pattern that came with it. If it said, for instance, a half yard of a particular fabric was included, there was exactly a half yard of that fabric, or just a tiny bit less. Since I didn't make the pattern I don't know if the fabric cuts were generous or "just enough".

I buy from Craftsy all the time. I have always been pleased with their kits.

I have bought several kits from Craftsy, and our quilt club has as well. There is always ample fabric, more then with any other kits I have gotten. They seem very generous!

I ordered a kit from Craftsy and they substituted a fabric that I didn't like too much. I contacted them and they were very gracious in sending me the original fabric and had excellent customer service. I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.
