    Quality first. If I can't identify the manufacturer, I won't buy it at any price, even if the color is perfect.

    Quality, Color, then Price for me, too, but you're asking a bunch of mostly Americans what their preferences are for precuts that will, I assume, be shipped from Australia. Personally, I would have to think very long and hard about buying anything that had to be shipped that far. With fabric prices so high where you are, I'd guess that your local/regional target market would likely give entirely different feedback. Best of luck.

    That is the only reason that I buy precuts. sometimes (not often) I do want all of the fabrics in a line. Then I am most likely to buy 10" squares (layer cake) or 2.5" strips.

    The quality! If it is substandard. Yukky fabric it is not worth my money regardless of what it is priced.

    I look for color or pattern. Quality is next. Price is least important.

    Definitely quality. I don't like to work with cheap feeling fabrics. Next probably is price, then color. I can work with most colors, but can't work with all prices!
