So this is an experiment to find out if the love of precuts is a generational thing.

Please do not use this as a place to bash precuts, or tell us anything more than just your age. Thanks!

If you LIKE THem, post in thread.

Also, interesting to note would be how "new" you are to quilting, so if you would like to share, say how many years you have been sewing.

Do you love 'em or hate 'em?

ME-28, Sewing for 2 years.

cjomomma 01-07-2011 01:42 PM

I'm 43 and I like them. Been quilting for 6 or 7 years now. Can't say I love them just like them.

Me--71 years--quilting 20 + years--just started quilting again. Love the freedom of not cutting--also so many patterns you can make from them.

Please this is not a place for complaining about the price or anything else. Just please put your age and how many years sewing.

kriscraft99 01-07-2011 01:52 PM

I love them because I have a hard time choosing coordinating prints. I'm 44 years old and been sewing for over 15 years - very new to quilting though.

Jim's Gem 01-07-2011 01:57 PM

Just answered this on an almost duplicate thread
No, I don't like them. I prefer yardage. I don't buy many fat quarters either.
I'm 50 and have been quilting 12 years or so.

Yes, the almost but NOT duplicate thread is the one for people who don't like them. This thread is the one for people who do.

I love 'em!!! so great due to coordination... I've been sewing since age 15 or so.. quilting off and on for about 5-6 years (now that I'm semi-retired, more on) and I'm 57... well, DH and I have decided to go to a 10-point age scale :-D sooo, that makes me 5.7...
Happy quilting!!

burnsk 01-07-2011 02:09 PM

Like them. Use them but avoid the pinked ones. Finished first quilt 25+ years ago and quilting ever since. 65 yo.

wolph33 01-07-2011 02:09 PM

56 and would rather cut my own.bad experience with jelly rolls off by a half inch

alimaui 01-07-2011 02:10 PM

LMAO, Obviously, this experiment has failed, because nobody can read the directions......

The purpose, was just to have a list of "ages" in the "like" thread, and then a second list of ages in the "don't like" thread. But since people are posting everything else, and not even posting their ages, it is not going to work.

Beebee 01-07-2011 02:11 PM

me? 80. Quilting 1 year...Not sure,but do like charm packs

CarrieAnne 01-07-2011 02:16 PM

Linda1 01-07-2011 02:20 PM

Me 64. Like them.

gale 01-07-2011 02:23 PM

Love 'em (too much sometimes). I'm 45 and been quilting for a few years, sewing for about 30 yrs.

Melinda in Tulsa 01-07-2011 02:34 PM

Me - 56, sewing for 45+ years, quilting 2 years.

Candace 01-07-2011 02:34 PM

Sorry, hon...but I knew both threads were doomed the minute I saw them:>

makakehau 01-07-2011 02:36 PM

I am 47 and looove them.
Have been sewing about 1 year.

Perhaps they wouldn't be so doomed if people refrained from unnecessary comments like this one.

gale 01-07-2011 02:51 PM

Wow that's rude. She was making an observation. I guess I'm breaking the rule too.

eta: maybe a poll would be better. I'm pretty sure there are a few sites that let you create free polls. That way people just vote and you don't have the comments or "wrong" posts.

alimaui 01-07-2011 03:00 PM

Yes, a poll would be easier, but I really didn't think it would be too difficult for people just to post their ages. It is about as simple as it gets. Two numbers...hit post.

I thought it would be a fun experiment, simple just to see if the like/dislike happenened to be a favorite of just younger/newer quilters, but the precut bashers cannot just participate without telling us AGAIN that they are too expensive. We get it. It comes up in EVERY precut thread. Every. Single. One. Why can't they just answer the question at hand?

nativetexan 01-07-2011 03:01 PM

I'm 66 and use some. charms and jelly rolls so far. still don't know what they all are!

charmpacksplus 01-07-2011 03:05 PM

Me, 54, love love love the precuts. I've been sewing since I was about 10 years old, quilting for only 5 years.

Now might be a good time to stock up because Moda's prices are going up on yardage and precuts.

redvette54 01-07-2011 03:06 PM

56, quilting on and off 15 years

liminanc 01-07-2011 03:13 PM

I am 51 have been sewing since I was 8, and quilting for 12 yrs now. I think anything that saves me time is great. I find cutting out the most boring part of sewing. So yeah precuts are pretty cool.

mltquilt 01-07-2011 03:16 PM

LeeAnn 01-07-2011 03:34 PM

snicker dee 01-07-2011 03:47 PM

I am 63 and love the precuts .... not so much for cutting reasons but bec I love getting the whole entire line of a fabric and playing with them ... using colors I would never have chosen by myself and seeing how it all coordinates together. Been sewing for over 50 yrs and quilting for 30 or so.

i must confess that your purpose has escaped me from the beginning.

since the topic is not accomplishing whatever you intended, there's no point in keeping it going.
