LQS Won't Cut Fat Quarters?
Have you ever run across a quilt shop that won't cut fat quarters?
That's it. The whole question. I was just so shocked, but maybe it's a thing? Watson |
Maybe they just don't sell them. Buy a half yard and cut two FQs, if that's what you need.

I have found many shops that won't cut FQs -- when I've asked the answer is usually no, unless there is a sign that says to just ask! In addition there is usually an up-charge.
It does take time and staff and an inventory system that can deal with them. When I'm buying fabrics just because or to add to colors or other collections, I typically buy a standard 1/2 yard as being convenient and reasonable cost. |
Long time ago, yes. some do, some don't.
|
Few of the quilt shops down here will cut FQs. They recommend purchasing a quarter or third of a yard.
|
No they will not cut FQs. It is a lot of extra work and then they have to package and try and sell the other FQ.
|
1/2 yard is the least that all the shops in my area will cut. I can understand not wanting to end up with less then 1/2 yard left on the bolt to deal with.
|
My LQS will not cut a fat quarter for you but they do cut and sell fat quarters that they have cut. They have a really good selection of already cut FQs and put together their own bundles of 5 on display. They usually have FQs cut and displayed with fabric lines so it's never been a problem.

What about all the fat quarter patterns? They must not sell those patters. Or do they combine them with FQ bundles? I haven't had a problem getting fat quarters around here or SW Mich when I visit there. I've done a few Turning 20 quilts(or Turning 12) & would hate to 1/2 yds.
