And if I HAD the money, I kind of like the precuts, because you get such a nice varity....its hard to buy LOTS of pieces of fabric, but those are all there to grab!

I think there are those who will always love, & prefer, precuts. I love charm packs, but only if it's a pretty, well coodinating mixture, & pretty, of course. So far, any of the other cuts I have seen are way to expensive to even think about buying. I actually prefer to buy fqs & half yds, or bigger pieces when the price is right, & do my own thing. I don't mind precuts per say, but they should be alot cheaper to buy, after all that's not manual labor & how much fabric does on actually get, give us all a break, I say!...

It is convenient to have precut items. I know they have a lot of different machines, but some of them are a little pricey.

Sounds like there would be a good market for these, if those of you with large stashes offered them at good prices.

Hmmmnnnn.... Let me see. If you divide width of fabric (say 40" wide) by
2.5 inches, you get 16. Then divide one yard which is 36" by 5 inches and you get 7 (and a smidgin) rows. So now you will have 16 x 7 pieces = 112 per yard. 8 packets of 40 pieces measuring 2 1/2" x 5" will give you 320 total. As I figure this, you are actually getting only 3 yards of fabric, plus some patterns, and a couple large pieces of fabric for the grand amount of $46 ! Now that is an expensive project in my estimation, or am I wrong in my measurements? |
