Jordan Fabrics is also a great place to buy fabric. Donna Jordan as well as Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Company also have some great videos on making quilts (and other goods, but mostly quilts).
I love the quality of Jordan Fabrics, they just feel wonderful. They are a bit pricey, but sew worth it.
Jordan Fabrics puts together their own precuts and some kits as well. Their cutting, done by co-owner Matt Jordan (Donna’s husband), is the best.
Wonderful information for this newbie. I heard the words like "charm", "jelly roll" etc. but never really knew what they were. This video was very helpful. Also, loved the easy explanation on yardage etc. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this great video about precuts and yardage etc. Very informative. I am new at all this.
Being a newer quilter I really appreciate your videos like these ….I have bought way too much fabric in the past. Getting better but not there yet. Thank you for putting the time in these!
Hi, Erica. When discussing yardage for backings, you forgot to mention 108" fabric. I usually buy 3 yards and I love that I don't need to piece it.
I agree! And sometimes it can be a LOT cheaper than 42" wide fabric!
I love to see and touch the fabrics. This video helped thanks. hugs Terrie
I use EQuilter as well, and Shabby Fabrics. Excellent prices, wonderful customer service and prompt shipping. Living in Australia, I really appreciate those things 🤗
I just enjoy looking at your backdrops. You have one of the prettiest UA-cam quilting sets.
I'm glad for some highlights on buying material for quilting. I never know what to look Foret alone what I want to make. And the quilt backing and batting. Thank you for your information
Mahalo Erica, for all the wonderful information for a 75 year old newbe!
So,so enjoyed today's info on yardage!!!!! Love, love your vidios.
Always good information and extra entertainment by your kitty in the background. Thanks and please keep the videos coming.
I love the pre-cuts because I have Parkinson and it makes it easier for me not having to cut so much.
Another great place is Hancock Fabrics in Paducah KY
Thanks for the break down… that was very helpful
I recently found "Southern Fabrics", they have great prices on all precuts.
Very nice, concise info…always wonderful to watch!
Couldn't wait to see this. I will look at Catching Stitches.thanks
Erica, thank you for putting all this information together. Some I already knew but to have it all on one video for a resource is just so good. The fabric shop recommendations is much needed. I value good quality fabric too. Love your channel.
Very informative. You mentioned places to buy fabric that I had not heard of. Thanks.
Such a helpful video! You are a wonderful instructor. Thank you.
So organized, I love the cheery vibe of your studio!
Thank you. Your explanation of all the options better to understand.
There are honey buns as well. 1 1/2 inch strips.
Your video is very informative and easy to understand. I’ll be saving this one. Thanks so much!
I’m making a queen sized rail fence quilt with three jelly rolls. They have enough for the top and binding. I love that vintage picnic print!! Would love to see the whole line. Now I’ll have to look those up. 🥴 Precuts and all the names was confusing when I first started quilting. I love white print on print for my background and sometimes my backing. I rarely use total solids. I thought it was great that you explained that there are many shades of white. Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I love precuts! 👩🌾💛🌻😊
This is one of the most helpful videos I have watched!! Well done 👍🏻.
Awesome video!! A lot of great information. I am definitely going to buy the same white fabric all the time for my quilts.
This is an awesome block to make. I love the 45 degree line on the ruler trick. Thank you so much and have a blessed day.
Great info on all the fabrics! And I’m always searching for your white fabric info on your other videos... now I should find it easily with this video... (when I lose that written info!😁😁)
Hi Erica - Awesome detailed video. Great info. Will be checking out the links you provided. You have an amazing fabric stash. Lots of years in the making I’m sure!!! Glad to learn about the Moda Bake Shop site. Thanks for taking time to put all this together. You are the best.
Thank you so much for this great review on fabrics and shops!!!
Thank you Erica for all this useful info 😊
Really good video. Lots of valuable info.
Omg! This was so, so very helpful! Thank you for doing this!!! I learned a ton! ❤️
Thank you Erica for this one. It is so helpful! I'll probably watch it again at least twice.
I also shop online at Jordan Fabrics - great tutorials and email notification of sales; sometimes up to 35% off!
Yes, Jordan Fabrics is also a great online quilting fabric resource. Thank you for this video. Every little bit helps 😊👍💕
Good explanation and great tips! Thank you for posting!
I love your videos and patterns! Thank you ⭐️
Very informative Erica! Love your choice of fabriçs. At a nearby shop where I live they had Moda white with a light pattern on a long tube roll at 2.00 a yard. Wasn't quite 45 inches but rather 42in. I got 3 yards but wished I got more for backing. Might go back and get more..😏 👍🐾🐈
So much good information, thank you!! I've been a little overwhelmed by all the pre-cut terms. Love that you gave us the names, sizes, prices and uses. As a newbie I'm grateful and I even took notes! 😁
Thankyou Erica!
Most valuable to me.
Thank you for all the info , I current buy from all except catching stitches and I will give them a try.
Thank you so much for this! I love precuts, but I never know how much to buy for a quilt or other projects.
Great video and full of good information. Thank you for sharing the information with us.
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was so helpful!
What a great video. So useful, thank you! 😁
Great video. Please do video on how you store your different size fabrics ( bins, where to get comic boards, etc)
Hi, just new to this world of crafting and quilting so this information is invaluable. Thank you.
Great information, even for us not so young quilters 😜. I just went to the Catching Stitches web site. Spent way too much and I’m so excited. Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Thank you for all the wonderful information
I started out buying "generic" fabric because I was "learning" and didn't consider myself a "quilter" yet. So many mistakes were compounded because the fabric was thin, moved, bad weave....I am just now getting more confidence to buy better fabric, names, designers. I don't know if I can "feel" yet. I agree on the whites. I have that problem this week--only one row of sashing and none to be found. I also found mixing "charms" is not good. Never heard that they are not the same either. So much to learn.
I found additional fabric that I needed on Etsy when I ran out making a baby quilt. I looked locally and it was gone, but a shop had what I needed on Etsy. Also you might find last years fabric lines there.
Great info! Thank you 🙏
It would be nice if Canadian prices even came close to yours! They’re DOUBL in most cases, especially precits
Thank you for the info - very helpful!!
Great info Erica. Thank you.
Thank you for the tips on buying cheap fabric. I'm gonna order a ton!
Great explanation for beginners!
Thanks for the suggestion of catching stitches.
I remember when charm packs were $5 “back in the day” 😂. And you should check out Green Fairy Quilts. I hate to give up my secret, but they carry Moda and Riley Blake precuts. If I can get a jelly roll from a new line for $30, I’m in. They’ve been my go to for Aurifil and precuts for years.
Thanks for that tip Welshwitch.
Thank for sharing! Heading there now 😄
Thank you so much 🙂
Yes! It’s a wealthy lady’s hobby now.
@@nanashouse202 I get mine there as well!! It’s a nice company as well!!
Thanks so much. Such great info in a relatively short time. Will utilize a lot of your information. I'm a long time clothing sewer and wanted to make the step into Quilting, hence this Video was perfect for what I needed. Wish me good sewing..
Great tips. Thanks for another great video
It's nice to see Jack to besides yourself
Thanks for all the info Erica.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Hi Erica, Really informative. Thank you
Erica, I'm one who buys all different whites/off-whites and did the very thing you mentioned. I finished the whole quilt before realizing that some of the whites weren't the same UGH!!! I'm hoping once it's quilted it'll be okay. I now have a bolt!!!! I'm a sucker for fat quarter bundles. Can't have enough!! :) xo Love shopping Etsy. Awesome fabric sellers.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you!
Superb
My local quilt shop doesn't sell jelly rolls so I made my own jelly roll from quarters and cutting :) working on your jelly roll jamboree quilt!
Great video! Very helpful.
Thank you. Great summary.
Thanks for make such an informative video. I’m a newbie to quilting and I love your room set up, those are my goals! I would love to win that flexible light, would love to get back into doing cross stitch again and that looks like it would be easier to see.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful
Oh you are so lucky. Here in Australia we would typically pay at least twice that price if not more. I guess the extra cost we incur is for postage and packaging. I have always loves your choice of fabrics. AND I definitely have fabric envy (your shelves look amazing) Thanks for sharing and stay safe.👍🏻
I agree totally. Wish our jelly rolls were at those prices.
Thanks! Very helpful info💠
Fantastic information! Thanks
Great video!, thanks for the info.😀
Good info as always! 😘
Thank you for the information!!
Wish you would update this video to reflect the current prices, which went up a lot! I will use up what fabric I have in my stash and then will put my machine on sale. I can't afford fabric now. They took all the joy out of shopping for patterns and being able to purchase the fabric for it even living under the poverty line. $11 to $20 a yard, + taxes and shipping online is to double the price of a yard. Local small shops are $5 to $12 more for a yard. All fabric went up in price during Covid! Precuts are are way expensive. $50 to $65 a jelly roll is crazy!
Hi! Maybe I'll update it at some point, prices have definitely increased the last couple of years!
Thanks for all of the fabric buying ideas! Do you have a video tutorial on the Sweet Pea quilt that’s hanging up behind you??
Great video, Erica! You explained everything thoroughly. I make a lot of project and other bags and love using precuts, especially mini and charm size packs. The charm packs (5x5) are actually the most economical for what I do as I use 2 1/2” squares and I can get four out of every piece. So now I have to ask - you don’t have any Blackbird Designs fabric laying around you want to sell, do you? I am always on the lookout for some of it! Thanks for a great video! 😊
Very good tips!
Fat quarter shop also has a bolt discount. You just put in comments box "bolt discount please" they figure it and adjust you order. Some other's may too so don't be afraid to ask. You didn't mention that some precuts I am thinking of the charm packs I have ordered lately have more than one print to them. Lori Holt's fabric precuts have different names so just read the description. Thanks for the great video Erica I went out to Catching stitches subscribed and then to your site love love the Farmhouse fall and CherBerry patterns..... Had to place a order!!!!!! Love ya hugs from Minnesota
Whoa! Some fabric companies have two of each fabric on the layer cake and smaller, including jelly rolls.
Yes, nearly all precuts (besides fat quarter and fat eighth bundles) have doubles of some prints. Glad somebody brought it up.
Nice video/topic! I also like GE Designs & Sew Yeah! Amazing quality & choices!
Thank You! ❤
I enjoyed her show!
Goodmorning
The prices here in Canada, are way more for precuts! Prices have more than doubled here, since I started quilting back in 2000.... Layer Cakes and Jelly rolls by Moda are $60 each...Charm Square Packs about $16-$18.... Our group has missed going down to the States for our supplies, as we are 5 min. from the border.. and a good 50 minute drive to Bellingham...so under an hour! Border still closed for us....but look forward to heading down soon... The Tuesday Morning Store has good pricing on a small selection of precuts.
I recently purchased your Winterberry pattern and chose a red fabric from my local Joann's. I accidentally spilled some water on the fabric after I made the star block, and to my horror, the red bled into the white. I wanted to cry! Then I saw you had the same issue and felt so much better. I only have the mittens to make and then stitch the quilt top together and put on the backing, and then into my tub it will go. Thank you for documenting your journey with saving your quilt! I'm so glad there's a way to save mine. I appreciate all your quilting content, thank you so much!
Erica this is a fantastic video! Thank you! 😊 I love the quilt on the wall behind you. Can you tell me the pattern for it? Also, do you have a video where you explain how to choose vertical or horizontal seams for the backing? I end up with more fabric than needed. There's not a good video out there that takes you all the way through the backing process. Thanks, you're a great teacher 😀
Great video 😊
Thank you so much for this👍👏🥰🌷🇦🇺
Super helpful
Thanks again for the information, i am still waiting for Erica Arndts line of fabric….lolol…have a great weekend….
My fav is jordan fabrics.great service, fast shipping.great videos!
😳 Your B&C stash! ❤️
The one drawback on pre-cuts is the cost per yard you are paying. They have many advantages I agree, but you do pay for the convenience and the variety.
That is correct, and why I continue to buy pre-cuts :) I prefer the convenience and variety that come in the packs!
@@erica_arndt me too! And it’s not excessively more money. A layer cake is about 2.75 yards total and about $40 in the US. That’s only roughly $10 more than 2.75 yards of the same print, which is definitely worth it to me. The smallest amount you can buy is usually a quarter yard (once I found a shop offering 1/8 of a yard strips) and buying 42 mostly different 1/4 yards would be very expensive. It is more fabric of course but also does not offer the versatility of a layer cake square since it’s only 9” long.
Enjoy your videos. I also like Villa Rosa, they are super nice. I also use Keepsake quilting, they have some good deals too. I've learned most everything from utube and have made around 15 quilts while staying home from the covid pandemic.
