Quilt Kits?
For the first time I bought a quilt kit. My right arm is injured (I am right handed) and I thought a quilt kit meant the pieces would come precut for that pattern. The kit arrived with yardage and pattern but I will need to cut it myself.
Was this wrong thinking? Are there different types of kits? |
Sorry about your injury. All the kits that I have bought, have only been a pattern and fabric.
|
Okay, I'm not sure where I got the notion, a little pun :), that they came precut.

Ischo4jm, I just did a quick google search for precut quilt kits and found this one ......

I haven't bought a kit but like you, I assumed the pieces were cut.
I like your pun :) Hope you feel better soon! |
Most kits are pattern and fabric for the quilt as shown. But there are some with precuts...particularly if there are applique pieces that are laser-cut.
|
some applique quilt kits are laser cut but they are super expensive to the ones that aren't precut, but most kits are fabric and pattern
|
I have only used 1 kit and it was a pattern with the fabric. The fabric was jelly rolls and some of the yardage was cut... but not all of it
|
I've read that some kits don't even include the pattern, just the fabric. The norm is fabric + pattern. The fabric may consist of mostly pre-cuts (jelly roll, layer cake, etc.) but usually requires further cutting to make the quilt. Hope your arm is better soon.

Jordan's in Oregon https://jordanfabrics.com/ has precut block sets. Her fabrics are quilt shop quality and laser cut, so the cut is very precise.
There is a lady on Ebay cabe6677 who sells precut fabric kits. I have bought several but don't really like sewing block pieces that still have the selvedge on them so I haven't bought from her lately. Her cuts are pretty good. I like making HSTs with squares of fabric and hers are always triangles. I have to watch the bias with her cuts. She is reasonable. |
