  • It's here! The best, most comprehensive comparison of quilting and sewing subscription boxes available today. Prices and items are reflective of current subscriptions.
    Not all subscriptions are created equal. Different types, price ranges, items and quality are addressed here.
    I will show what are in them, their prices, the website to go to sign up for them, pictures of the boxes and contents, and some personal comments about them by me.
    There is no ranking or reasoning to the order of them, but there are different categories.
    Here are the links for all the website links discussed:

    My granddaughter has started quilting, she is 21 and is ever enthusiastic about it. I was looking for a subscription box to send her. You have done a beautiful piece and I so appreciate it. Thank you for making my task so easy. I just have to research my favorites. I currently subscribe to Fat Quarter Shop and love it. I can’t wait to choose one for her. Or maybe I’ll let her watch your video and pick her own! Thank you❤

    Thank you for trying all the things for us so we can pick a subscription that suits us best. I have started quilting again after like 7 year's. I used to subscribe to the fat quarter shop box, but for me I kept getting stuff I didn't like and it was not always a quilt box and it disappointed me. So now thanks to your video I have better options. I saw a couple that sparked my interest.

    Comprehensive is right. So glad to have found this. I watched it twice! I even ended up subscribing to the Cotton Cuts puzzle quilt BOM because it looked like so much fun. I also have been doing the sew sampler from Fat Quarter shop for over a year now. Also they have lots of other clubs. To solve the problem that most of these kits do not have backgrounds, I did a couple things. First I subscribed to FQ Shop’s low volume FQ club and gots lots of low volume FQs to use for scrappy backgrounds. I also bought a bolt of off white fabric when it went on sale! No more scrambling for BG fabrics when I want to start a project.

      those are great solutions. Not having everything you need with some of the subscription boxes does make it a challenge. I now do a Mystery Quilt that is not a subscription, but it does provide all the fabric needed (including background and backing!).

    Great idea to have them all together to compare. I get the sewer’s club project box because they are in Canada amNd I can afford the shipping. Unfortunately for most of the others they don’t ship to Canada or the shipping is as much or more than the box! That is why I love channels like yours where I can enjoy your boxes!

      As a beginner quilter I really like RebsFabStash because they give you small projects to help sharpen your skills without committing to a large project. This is the link for them: www.rebsfabstash.com/?ref=XZ2DD5ky67xp2
      If you're looking to build your fabric stash and gain useful notions, I really like the Sew Sampler Box from The Fat Quarter Shop. Here is their link: www.fatquartershop.com/?sscid=71k7_12qqsj
      Sewers Club is a great option that offers both projects and just fabric boxes. Check here and use code LYNNE to get 30% off your first box: sewersclub.com/
      I'm putting together a holiday box that will ship Nov 1st that will have a lot of fabric, patterns, notions and small projects. It's a once a year box and there are 2 to pick from. Or, don't pick and grab both! Here is my link for those: softsquares.com/products-1/ols/categories/holiday--gift-boxes-filled-with-fun
