I don't buy pre-cuts cause I wash all my fabric before using it.... I shudder at the mess that would come out of the dryer with jelly rolls......... I also use my June Taylor Shape cutter to cut my own... That is part of the THERAPY of quilting for me! lol !!
|
I purchased a jellyroll at a good price, but there were only 18 strips. Lesson learned.
|
I have just recently bought some jelly rolls & they clearly stated that they had 20 strips (which was the reason they were cheaper) OR 40 strips (which is why the price was much higher. I have purchased them from CT & Craftsy & it stated the number of strips.

I have been buying charm packs from MQ daily special. Even though you pay $5 for shipping & the very low price for your charms, you are still getting a bargain! and I never have a problem because I always look to see the amount of charms in the packet. I have not been disappointed.
|
I guess it depends on the fabric maker etc.. I buy the material and make my own precuts then I am assured of what I have. Lesson learned for sure
|
The forty charms are usually duplicates. And the dupes are always what one gal referred to as ... meh!
|
When buying on the net I ask questions before committing to buying. I bought a Jelly Roll several years back at a very reasonable price and it surprisingly had 50 strips. I can't for the life of me remember who I bought it from.

This may have been posted before, but I just ran into the problem. I, personally, will take responsibility, but I had NO idea! I bought 3 charm packs from Craftsy.com. Was excited, planning 3 quilts.....price was AWESOME! yeah, you get what you pay for. Apparently a charm pack does NOT have to contain 40 pieces......these contained 14!!!!!!!!! ONE quilt. Oh well.....however, I thought all charm packs contained the same amount of blocks. Is it the same with jelly rolls, etc????????:thumbdown:

I have a question here. What if some of the blocks in a charm pack are not square? Actually I ordered several from a respectable company and there are some squares that are not all there. It is difficult to explain, but it seems as if the cloth was not fully under the blade so that the pieces are only partially there. Should I return that set or just deal with it?

On one of the Missouri Star Quilt Co videos Jenny announced that they have contracted all companies to have the same number of pre cuts. So let's say that normally Moda sells a jelly roll with 32 strips, if purchased from MSQ it will contain 40. All of their jelly rolls from any and all companies contain 40. Charms seem to differ though.
