I love the idea of March Madness! Sewing every day and checking in on Facebook!
My favorite precut fabric bundle is a layer cake. The patterns are usually easy and the finished size is perfect. Yay!
Hi Pat, thanks for your motivation. I started teaching my self to quilt when the bi centennial quilting was taking off. Then life and kids happened. When I retired about six years ago, I came back to quilting. Wow things had changed, pre cuts! Started with a layer cake.
I love layer cakes because you can also use it for the other cuts if needed. Nothing goes to waste. Very versatile. Love your videos. Keep them coming. I learn something new all the time. Thank you!
I do enjoy these videos. I like all the different topics you hit on and the notions. The buttons were especially cute. 😊
Hi pat, my favourite pre cut size is a jelly roll. I make quilt as you go 10 1/2 inch squares and make them into a 5x5 square lap quilt. I've made a few for new babies gifts. I also have made a couple for my friends elderly parents to keep them warm over winter. I like nothing better than making a quilt and gifting it to someone special.
My favorite pre-cut size is a layer cake or charm. In terms of the one that I’d start with - it is the charm pack! Easy to manage and lots of options for quilt blocks! One of my favorite, easy to do go-to blocks is the disappearing 9 patch. Of course it can be done with any size squares but really like doing it with the charm packs. Great and informative video. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and ideas! Love your previous finishes - so cute!
I love all the precuts. They are great when I need a quick project. Love your chats, I always learn something new and useful.
Always so wonderful to watch your video wonderful tips and information! I like both jelly rolls and layer cakes. I also adore the mini charm pack. Happy sewing!!
Kath here -- First time watching one of your fireside chats. Thank you for all the information. Enjoyed it! I love all precuts, but right now am really into layer cakes -- easy to use when making quick project quilts using large blocks.
Thank you Pat !! your firer side chat's are so informative ! I love jelly roll's !! easy & fun to use.
Hi Pat, I liked all your button projects. Very cute! I need to be walking with you! I live in GA so we don’t have that many extremely cold days. We have had a lot of rain this winter though. My favorite precuts are Jelly Rolls. There’s just a lot you can do with them. I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s Day! 🤣
Explaining the thread was a big help. Especially in how to use them. I have the same rotating mat. I love it. Every quilter should gift it to herself. I was doing so good at cleaning up every day. And I got behind during Christmas. Talk about a mess. But I finally finished Christmas. I have designed a mermaid quilt. Which drawing a mermaid is giving me trouble. I have gifted one of your patterns oh my stars to a little boy whose dad is in the coast guard. And i have giraffe quilt to make.also a Carpenters wheel quilt. So I am only 3 behind. I sew every day. Precuts I dont use but if I bought one it would be 10x 10. Have a wonderful week.
I purchased a the Bloomtopia kit from Fat Quarter shop. This is my 1st precut. Now I need to get busy. I'm a little nervous to make the first cut. I love your chat, I always learn something new about so many things, quilting, organization, tools and don't forget the yummy snacks.
Fat quarters are my favorite,,they don't take up much room,and you can go thur and pick out colors that look good together then add a background and use for your next quilt project , just love them.
My favorite pre-cut is the jelly roll. I have made a few quilts with them and they are so versatile. I have never kept a journal, but it seems that it is a good way to document my projects.
I like the layer cakes. The first precut I ever used was the jelly roll. Love your fire side chats.
My fav precut is jelly roll and 5” squares. Thanks for all you do and sharing with all of us
I love all precuts cant get enough of them. Your pack your giving away is so generous. Have a blessed day
First time that I have seen your show. Love it and learned so much. The precautions that I would like to try I’d layer cakes.
Just watching again, Aurifil is a great thread, made a huge difference once I switched both in piecing, FMQ and sewing cotton clothing, love it
My favorite is the fat quarter bundles. So many fun things to make with them.
I have used the charm packs. They seem to be just the right size. But I do have 1 cake layer, 10 inch squares, of Christmas from years past and I’ve even bought the moda cake mix recipe to make something. I just love this fireside chats. You inspire me to go through my scraps an tidy up a bit so that I can get to those projects that are just waiting. And I love aurifil thread. What a great chat on thread sizes! Now I want to try a 30 wt for blanket stitch and the 80 fo hand appliqué. Thank you pat. Now off to treat myself to a totaling mat.
Great information about threads!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
My favorite precut is jelly rolls. But I love using all pre cuts. Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Hi Pat. Thank you for you great videos. I really enjoy them. They are full of interesting things. The pre cut that I like to try is a jelly roll . So far this is the only pre cut that I've bought to try but haven't used it as like you I've got many things on the go. Lol Right now I'm taking a class on English paper piecing an of course I didn't take the class that made a tote I had to make a lap size quilt. What was I thinking for the first time of learning. Lol Good thing it's a 7 month class( 1 Saturday a month). Thanks again Pat
Thanks for showing everything. I ordered the Mini Charm Book tonight. Love your Fireside Chats and you just dropping in on Saturdays. Keep it up.
I really like using the Charm packs , as there are so many quilts to make using them and i Know that all the fabrics play well with each other!!!
Happy Valentine's day! Pat every time I watch one of your tutorials I feel inspiration to get organized, and remember why I love quilting so much. A year or so ago I read a book "15 minutes of play" I loved the book! I love the thought that I deserve to "play" every day..That being said, I sometimes get overwhelmed with sew alongs, quilt of the month clubs and all the projects I want to sew🤣 So I tune in and realize I need to organize and prioritize. THANKS PAT!! Don't save little pieces of fabric if you aren't going to use them.
I love layer cakes and jelly rolls, they are very versatile.
Have an awesome weekend!!
That cute little Love Letters block is just adorable...and that journal is set up so beautifully...I love the Layer Cakes
because they are so versatile...
hugs, Julierose
OMG. never, ever did I think about locking down my threads that way! great tip!!!
Pat, thanks so much for the thread lesson. I knew about wts, but you gave me some more information on uses. I appreciate that.
Jelly rolls are my favorite I love the variety and there are so many easy patterns for them. I've only been quilting a couple years. I really enjoy your videos.
I'm enjoying the ideas you're giving on managing scraps. So helpful! As a newer quilter, I've been saving every scrap with no idea what to do with them. And now I have 5 half empty scrap bins and about 3 piles of scraps throughout my sewing rooming 😳😩. Thanks for giving some advice on directions I can take with these scraps. As for favorite precut, maybe the layer cake for it's versatility. 🐿
I love charm squares and jelly rolls best but all are great. Enjoyed your talk on threads. Thanks!
I am new to quilting and love all your videos… my first project was a spring table runner using fat quarters!!
I enjoy the ideas, inspiration and love you share! Fat half bundles are my favorite when a new line of fabric comes out that calls my name.
I have used the jelly rolls and 10" charm packs. I prefer the charm packs. Plus I love to let the package hang out so I can see how pretty they are, makes me happy just to look at them!
My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake because you get to see all the fabrics in that fabric line.
I love the jelly rolls for use in quilt blocks like log cabins. I also enjoy using the 5” squares to make half-square triangles. I prefer to buy my neutrals in precuts because it saves me time!
Thank you so much for your explanation of the Aurifil thread and the different weights...I use 50wt for my piecing but now am excited to try the other weights for appliqué or quilting. I also use the rotating mat (I love notions and rulers) and find it so handy. As for precuts, I think I’ve used them all...and I’m currently making the Fat Quarter Shop’s paper pieced Log Cabin using a Honey Bun (1 1/2” strips) perfect for the log cabin, no cutting. I think I’ve used Jelly Rolls the most, so far. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Loved the cute heart banner....and enjoying your chats.i have never tried a Jolly Bar...but would like to try them. Love you Pat.
I love the fat quarter bundles because you can make a large quilt, but if you are new to quilting or on a fixed income, you can do a lot with a layer cake, even if you cut it down into four charm packs!
I am so glad you did that cost comparison with the Aurifil thread vs. other. I use Aurifil exclusively and a couple of my quilt buddies think I'm crazy to pay the price. Now I can let them know that not only is it the BEST thread, but more economical as well! I haven't tried 40 or 80 but think I will add a couple of those spools to my cart. My very favorite pre-cut is the layer cake. SO MANY ways to use them! Thanks Pat for another awesome Fireside Chat! ps I sew every day!
I use fat quarters the most. You get a wide variety for your projects and the colors are coordinated. I learn a lot from your chats. The Aurifil talk was great; I learned so much and I plan to try some of the other sizes. I have used Aurifil 50 since I started quilting because that was recommended by our teacher.
i'm so happy you do!
I enjoy mini charm packs to make small scrappy projects like pencil cases and project bags!
My favorite pre-cut size is the 5 inch charm pack, thanks for a great video.
Loved the chat today. You inspire and educate me in so many areas. THANKS! My favorite precut is a layer cake. I like it because I can always cut it down into 4 charm packs or even into many of the 2 1/2 inch squares.
I like using layer cakes because I can cut so many different size blocks from them. I missed the Cupid Box and would love to receive that pattern and fabric. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love your videos! Thank you for all the wonderful tips!! I enjoyed the thread information tonight, thank you. My favorite pre-cut is jelly rolls. Lots of patterns and books with beautiful quilts using jelly rolls.
I like the mini charm packs! Thanks for the great 👍 information today!
Love your explanations on thread sizes
I use charm packs and jelly rolls. I enjoy your fireside chats.
I loved learning about the thread : )
My favorite pre-cut is a Layercake! So versatile. Also, I love your chats, I just put you on when I sew, and it’s just like you’re sewing with me💖
I made my first quilt with charm packs. I have also made a jelly roll star pattern. Love your fireside chats!
I seem to lean towards charm packs. It was the first precut that I used. I have recently bought a jelly roll to try. Thanks for all the information that you give to us.
My choice is the charm packs, so many fun colors and patterns. I ran to check out the color core on my Aurifil threads- thanks for the great thread info.. Love Aurifil thread! Come to MT for a walk on dirt roads- no traffic😀
Thank you for explaining the thread, I understand now 👍 I just got 50wt I’m trying it and liking it so far. I love those thread kit ideas. Will be my next purchase soon.
THANKS for the best way to spend a Monday night!
I enjoy the layer cake 10” square. It was the first one I tried and the quilt came together quickly. It peaked my interest in quilting and lead me to you and I’ve completed many of your sew alongs. Sew Fun!
I love all the pre-cuts. I use fat quarters the most, but my all time favorite is the mini charms. I always buy 2 everytime a new line comes out but my downfall is I actually just hoard them and I like to just look at all the fabric designs. I keep telling myself that one day I will make something but alas I still have yet to travel that road. Just call me the Happy Mini hoarder!
Love the Aurifil thread information. There are so many thread choices out there sometimes it's hard to determine which thread to get for a project. I started out with charm packs. I think they are my favorite followed by jelly rolls!
Layer Cakes are my favorite. I feel I get a lot of cutting options from layer cakes. I enjoy your chats so much! You are very motivating. Thank you Pat!😎
I have only used a jelly roll. It was perfect for the braid pattern and made two table runner tops. Hope to try using a layer cake next since I'm not good at picking fabrics. Thanks for the fireside chat! So much info for me, a newbie, to take in and learn about. Just subscribed.
I love the layer cakes! I think they are easy to use.
Thank you for a great chat! I think the 10 inch are the most useful!
I love jelly rolls. My quilting tends to be more on the modern side with pops of color. Vibrant jelly rolls are a good way for me to go. Loved the information on threads! Am going to have to pay more attention to what I use when and seek out Aurifil!
Thank you so much for this thread lesson! I’ve been curious about the Aurifil 🧵thread! You explained things so well. This will become my new thread now that I understand the quality I’m sure I’ll be getting!
Jelly Roll for sure, you can make so much with it! Thank you for your videos.
I like the jelly rolls and fat quarter bundles...next would be layer cakes and charms...they all work for me according to the project.
My favorites are fat quarter bundles and jelly rolls. Thank you for the great information and inspiration.
I have never used a pre-cut. But I would like to try a jelly roll. Love your fireside chats.
I love the mini charm packs. They are SO CUTE.
I've only cut my own material, so trying a Layer Cake might be a good beginning to the world of precuts. I've seen them in the fabric and quilting stores but I've not bought any! You give a lot of great ideas and information...thank you for sharing with us!
I love the jellyrolls, such a versatile size and such yummy 😋colors! They are addicting as real "jellyrolls", so aptly named.
I have never used a precut but I think charms would be fun to work with. Enjoying your channel.
I really like the layer cake 10" pre cuts. I use them for 9" blocks and if I want smaller ones I have the option to trim them to 5" or 2 1/2" squares. Great chat tonight!
My favorite precut size is 5". It is perfect for making baby quilts!
I love jelly rolls but have a bunch of charm packs and just purchased my first Jolly Bar! Thank you for explaining the different thread weights. I may have to try the heavier for some machine quilting. ❤️
they are fun!
Since I love any kind of quilting fabric, it’s hard to choose . Mmmmmmm well perhaps a layer cake! Snip, snip and you have 4 packs of charm squares! Snip again and you have 16 packs of mini charms! They’re very versatile, don’t ya think?
I stiched today!!! Finished up soup cozy to give for valentines day gifts
I love the layer cakes. So easy for fast projects 😍
Pat , thanks for explaining the different thread sizes for me. I never knew about them. Mom always told me to use 50/50 size so that's what I done. Mom can't be wrong , right !! 😇😇
My first precut was a gift of a 10 inch layer cake and I was sold, I felt the Quilt was made in half the time ,and no agonising over colour matching ,love your chats,always learn something new ,regards from lreland Toni
5 inch charm squares are what I started with. But I love all Layer cakes, charm squares and jelly rolls!!
I love layer cakes. So many different things you can do with them.
I have the Olga rotating mat and love it!! Your organizational ideas are great, I need all the help I can get in this area:-) Thanks!!
I have just ordered my first layer cake, for no other reason then I love the new collection by Jan Patak for Moda.
I have used quite a few jellyrolls, but my new obsession is layer cakes! I ❤️ them! I really want to try a mini charm, but I am intimidated by how small they are. I need to come out of my comfort zone.
I love all precuts but layer cakes are my all time favorite
I love fat quarter bundles because cutting fabric is very zen for me. 😃
I have used a lot of different pre cuts over the years and I find that I really like the useability of the fat quarter. Just for the fact that so many size pieces can be cut from one fat quarter.
I enjoy layer cakes, they seem to be more diversified in their size and can create a variety of items. Thanks for you time. Enjoy your chats and tips.
I love Aurifil but I pay $18.99 for the 50 wt. here in Canada. You guys in the US are so fortunate! I’ve never used a precursor so any of them would be a learning experience.
I have used the 5 inch charm pack. I love that you get a great variety of fabric in these packs. I have a layer cake, however, I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet. I love your giveaway because I just love pink. Thanks for the great videos.
I mostly buy layer cakes but recently have purchased jolly bars and love them!
Layer cakes seem to be my go to precut but some of my favorite quilts have been made with jelly rolls! Love watching your fireside chats, they are so motivational!
Fun as always, Pat! I look forward to a little me time with my sewing machine and your fireside chat each Monday night.
I like fat quarter bundles best. Thanks for the explanation of the different weights of Aurifil thread!
