Nope, never..
Only if Ive spent WAAAAAAY too much on per yard ( and I hardly ever !!) but I never regret adding to my stash.. One day that one will be the perfect fab needed for that one particular project.. I love having a stash. And as a scrapper quilter, uglies are my favorite right. |
If you belong to a sewing group or have a sewing group at your church etc., donate the UFO fabric to them. Someone will love it!
|
Do a fabric swap at local quilt guild or even here on the board.
|
if I have something I REALLY know I won't use? I either give it to a friend who quilts at her church for charity...or I use it on a scrappy back. You can get rid of REALLY ugly fabric on backings! lolol I always feel like a weight has been lifted off me when it finds its way OUT my door....aHHHHH!
|
Fabric that has gone out of favor with me I cut into 2 1/2" strips. I use it for bindings, strip piecing, log cabin blocks, hexes, yo yos. I never have buyers remorse over fabric.
|
No matter how how hard I try, I always end up with fabric that looked better in the sotr than it does in my stash. I alwyays get my self in trouble when I go to a local outlet that has sales for buy one yard get two free. Its a great deal and I always end up with 3 yards of something ugly hideous(to me) fabric plus lots of really nice fabric. The regret fabrics usually make their way into swaps.

really like the idea of binding ! thanks !! |
Luckily I was able to plunder my mom's stash of buyer's remorse fabrics and made a bunch of charity pillow cases. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they can't be combined with another fabric to make a fun pillowcase.

UFO fabric??? always Under Fabric organizer !! nearly out of site. no, not fun finds.. just Buyer remorse. anyone else? A stash evens out the cash flow problem--sort of like having a cupboard full of food items--if we have a low month financially I can still cook because my pantry is full. If the economy totally tanks and we really have a hard time, I can still sew for a while. |
Yes, I have plenty of those fabrics. Most of them bought several years ago and on sale. I am currently using up a lot of them putting together quilts for our NICU and also lap size for donating to our guild to give away.
