I love fat quarter bundles. They allow me to purchase a whole collection, and they are usually enough to make a quilt with.

I do not buy fat quarters. Actually, I rarely purchase precuts. If I like it, I will buy a yard. If I really like it, I will buy 3 yards. If I love it, I buy 6 yards. My concern with a fat quarter is that, when I finally decide what I am going to make, it will not be enough.
-
Wow! I have a new appreciation for the work involved owning and operating a quilt store.
-
Sorry for the headaches, but I love fat quarters. I always buy them pre cut, I had no idea a fabric store would cut them for me 🤯🤯🤯
-
Fat quarters definitely my favorite. They are so versatile and you can get the collection.
-
I love charm packs! I can't afford to buy every fabric line I like. Charm packs give me the opportunity to make something with the whole range of a line at an price point that works better for me. It also allows me to purchase a small piece of more fabric lines.
-
I like a fat quarter bundle already coordinated. Add some yardage and some background and you have the makings of a beautiful quilt.
-
Layer cakes are my favorite. I only recently tried fat quarters and the flexibility of what you can it into is nice. But as a full set of fat quarters can be so pricy, I tend to go for a layer cake if I love the full line.
-
I worked in a quilt store for a long time and the owners loved selling fat quarters. Our biggest money maker.
-
My favorite "pre cut" by far is scrap bundles. They are ideal for a scrappy quilter myself.
-
My LQS made a half-yard cut their minimum, and I liked having the extra fabric. They would sometimes turn the ends of bolts into FQs. They also carried a little of pre-cuts in their inventory.
-
Sorry T. My favorite precut is fat quarter followed by layer cakes. I love the FQ bundles
-
I really like fat quarters. I've never asked a shop to cut them for me, just assumed if there weren't any already cut, there weren't any. But using a background fabric, I can get multiple lap/baby quilts out of a FQ bundle of the entire line. They are by far my favorite pre-cut. Thanks for the video and the information!
-
Favorite pre cut is charm pack and mini charms. Great explanation of fat quarters.
-
I've graduated from FQ's to Half yard bundles. You are usually left with a FQ after the project, or at least good strips. It's much more economical. If I can, I buy 2 yards, but I usually like the line and that's not affordable. Charms and layer cakes just don't fit my preferred quilts. I cut all my scraps into strips of varying widths.
-
This is ironic, I rarely bought fat quarters locally, but I'm a frequent customer of your utube shows and am now buying more collections in pre-cuts because of your shows! You always offer fat quarter bundle options and I'm hooked!
-
I am really loving the vegas strips you guys do.
-
I like fqs but because they give me the opportunity to sample a fabric without spending a lot of money on an entire yard. I’m not a quilter. I make bags and various small items (wallets, scrunchies, hats, etc) that don’t always require a lot of fabric. The biggest problem is that if I like the fabric a lot or if a customer wants an additional item with the same fabric, it can sometimes be hard to find more of the fabric. Oftentimes the fat quarters seem to come from end-of-bolt fabrics.

My favorite precuts are fat quarters and layer cakes!😊
