Precuts! What are they? And why you might want to try them out.

quilters blog post about pre-cut fabric and how it can be used and the types of fabric pre-cuts

Whether you are new to quilting or have been making quilts for a long time, starting a new project can be daunting.  There are so many choices to make when deciding on a new quilt project.  The fabrics, patterns, sizes, batting and more.  Precuts can help take away some of the overwhelm.  

So you might be asking, what is a precut?  These are pre packaged fabrics, cut to a specific size which typically contain one print of every fabric in a collection. Duplicates of the more popular fabrics are usually included in these bundles. All the patterns in a precut work together perfectly as they all come from the same fabric collection, taking away any decision fatigue.

Precuts an save you time.  You do not have to cut all your fabrics to size, saving hours for a project. 

There are many different sizes and names for precuts. You may find different names for the same item, based on the vendor. For example, Riley Blake Designs name their 2.5” strips Rollie Pollies whereas Benartex call these Strip-pies. 

Check out the Precuts we carry.

There are even books written with a precut focus.  Helping you find patterns specific to your precut of choice.  

Listed below are just a few ways in which you can use these precuts.

You will find other precuts as well such as fat quarter bundles, fat eighths and grab bags full of precut sizes.  We love to focus on just three types to offer you the best in design and fabrics. 

We hope you will try out precut fabrics to create your next project. And when you do please feel free to send us a picture as we love to see what you create. 

As Always.
Keep Quilting.  
Keep Creating.
