We've gotten a little bit into pre-cuts for our shop this year, and to be honest the staff is really enjoying the convenience of "Just pull it off the shelf and pack it, these are even folded already, how great is that?!"

And there's none of the "shrinkage" that comes with cutting yardage off the bolt; believe it or not we usually "lose" 3/4 yard on every bolt (we give the extra inch on our cuts).

So I'm trying to figure out whether we should buy pre-cuts from the fabric manufacturers, or come up with our own combinations (we have lots of fabrics already here to choose from) or maybe invest in an accu-cut so that we could make and market our own charm packs. The advantage of the last two is that we could come up with a combo that nobody else on the web is offering.

Buy the Studio:> I love mine and it would be a tax write off for you<insert angelic, innocent face>

Those prices are too rich for my blood :shock:
I would love to see your fabric pack combinations :D:D:D

This is one reason why I love Connecting Threads. Their prices for precuts and rolls matches their per yard price. Much easier to figure out what the deal is.

Yeah, I agree. For me to pay 10 or 15 dollars a yard it would have to be on sale 50% off.

It would have to be something I really, really wanted. As a rule I do not use pre cuts unless I find a good sale.

So true. I actually did the math one time, and it was all the same price per yard no matter how they cut it for you.

Too much for me. I'm trying to use my stash as much as I can. It's not free but it's paid for!

Way too exspensive. I would never pay that for a jelly roll. And I only buy small packs of fat quarters so they aren't so exspensive.

This is exactly what I do and don't do too. Dani
