Many don't realize how much it would cost to buy one of each fabric in a design line to make make your own precut package. How much time it would take to cut each one perfectly, with no waste. I don't look at price tags, I look at the value for the price.

I can't afford the luxury of that. I buy what's on sale and use coupons.

Depending on what sort of pattern you're using, they can be a great time saver, too!

Well a yard of fabric isnt 36x36 inches. its 36x42 or thereabouts.

Connect6ingThreads in their *precuts* tells how many yards are in that package, for charms, jellyrolls, layercakes, and FQs.

If you want to use a pencil and paper, jellyrolls are 2.5 x width of fabric, charms are 5x5, layercakes are 10x10, and FQs, of course, are 18 x 21 inches, or so.....

These are cute! I wonder if hexi's will continue to be popular or if they're just a fad.

This is just the reason I won't buy pre-cuts. Fabric is expensive enough as it is!

Waste of your money maybe but not mine. I love precuts. The fabric is perfectly matched and there is a lot of variety in each package. I can mix them with solids or buy solid color precuts and mix my scraps with them.

Not a waste of money just a decision as to how one chooses to spend the money...like everything else......actually I think, say in fq, 4 x pretty much equals the cost of the yard of same......
