I have Kaffe fabrics and they are wonderful. Not thin and so soft. I got them from Missouri Star I think.
As for selling higher- nothing wrong at all. On top of it she donates the money!
We need to stop telling others what they should/shouldn't do :)

[QUOTE=Ellen 1;8231090]Are you buying quilt store quality fabrics or are you buying Joann fabrics? There is a difference.

I don't believe Kaffe fabric is sold at Joann fabric. Anyway, I have never seen it there

I noticed a big difference between Tula Pink from Free Spirit and Kaffe from Free Spirit. I had ordered clearance fat quarter boxes mixed with different lines from each designer. At the time I wondered if it had something to do with the treatment on the fabric. Maybe less on the Kaffe? Used them for scrap quilts so it didn't really matter!

This is brilliant.

I bought the Kaffe Collective Spring 2017 layer cake from a MSQC daily deal 2 years ago :-) and I was disappointed in how thin the fabric is. I personally would not use it in a quilt for a child or someone who I thought would roughhouse the quilt and I wouldn't by any more Kaffe fabric if I couldn't see it in person first.

Kaffe Fassett’s fabrics feel more like Art Gallery fabrics, which is also thin. However, the thread count looks and feels much higher and it makes gorgeous quilts. Mine are frequently washed and hold up well.

I’d say it’s wrong for someone to stick their nose in someone else’s business. Supply and Demand runs economies all over the world. As supply decreases, the price goes up. If there’s too much supply and not enough demand, prices drop. Mr or Mrs Buttinsky probably shouldn’t try their hand in business or it’s doomed to failure.

I don't think it's wrong at all and here's why. Someone puts a certain amount of these kits together to sell. Folks like you buy the kits and sit on them (inventory) for future sales. In the meantime the person putting the kits together has gotten their money out of them ....so they can bring out a new kit and repeat the cycle. The fact that you donate the profits to charity is frosting on the cake...........good on you!

I recently saw a video interview in which Scott Fortunoff questioned Kaffe Fassett, Liza Prior Lucy, and Brandon Mably in her studio. I probably found the link on the Kaffe Fassett Collective FB page. I'm sorry I don't know how to locate it and post the link. Scott Fortunoff is an owner and executive of Jaftex Corporation which acquired Free Spirit Fabric after Coats announced its closing. During the very informal video, Scott mentioned that Kaffe prefers a different base fabric than other designers and Kaffe agreed. So that is what they use. I'm not remembering the terms and the specifics but they essentially print on different fabric because of the designer's adamant preference.
Scott has a blog that can be informative but sometimes is too specific for my time/interest. However is is amazing how little we actually know about the fabrics we all buy and enjoy and this man clearly has a different perspective than we as customers. He came to my attention when he gave a new sewing machine to a friend after she lost her home and everything in it when Hurricane Harvey blew through our area. It was a generous gift to a stranger form the goodness of his heart. I know he gave away quite a few machines. Hopefully some of these references will allow you to search for and look up whatever of it may be of interest to you.
