My favorite precuts are fat quarters. They allow flexibility for preshrinking the fabric and more cutting choices.
I am a fan of all precuts, but probably use charm packs the most.
I have just retired and need some more projects. I would love these layer cakes
Fat Quarters or Layer cakes. I thought i loved jelly rollls and bought a bunch when I first started but finding I don’t really like them. They are super cute rolled up and not used. đ
I like pre-cuts of all sizes but also love to get yardage of fabric that really catches my eye. I would love to have a layer cake of your beautiful fabric.
I have never used a layer cake. Only jelly rolls and charm packs
Thanks Ms Pat for all you do!
I like them all. But I have more single fat quarters than any other pre-cut. Love all of your projects that you share.
Fat Quarters are my favorite precuts!
The âDrawing Roomâ fabric is beautiful!
Hmm my favourite pre cuts is a layer came because I love the perfect 10 book. Thanks benertex
Hi, my favorite is fat quarters, fingers crossed I win, smiles.
please enter me into your contest. I like fat quarters and layer cakes
I love all precuts, but these days I’m partial to Layer Cakes. I love precuts because someone with much better art sense than me is able to put together coordinating fabrics. There are sew many quick quilts that can be made with the 10 inch squares.
I really like fabric any way it’s cut đ
Your dawn g too. Fabric is spectacular
I like Fat Quarter bundles or a Charm Pack
I like fat quarter bundles.
I’ve used all the pre cut sizes, but my favorite type of pre cuts to use is a fat quarter set as I love cutting fabric to needed sizes.
My favorite precut is the fat quarter bundle.
My favorite precuts are layer cakes and charm packs.
My favorite is fat quarter packs I like having extra in case of mistakes and I love having left overs for other quilts. I do tend to buy layer cakes, jelly rolls5 in stackers and everything else. My rule is if I love it but it lol can never have to much beautiful fabrics
I love jelly rolls but have used other things.
Thank you for another great video Pat.

I donât know that I have a favorite precut⊠maybe fat quarter bundle. Iâve probably bought equal amounts of them all and really like that they all go together. I have some pattern books that go with each size. I would love to win Drawing Room layer cake!
Drawing room later cake would make a great quilt. I seldom buy them and that is strange since I love to make quilts with them with a mix of my other fabrics.
Love your drawing room fabrics.
I like fat quarter bundles if I’m going to make something big otherwise I like layer cakes so I can get a variety of prints in the line.
I love fat quarter bundles and half yard bundles! I can usually get a couple of projects from a bundles and some background yardage! Beautiful!
I love ALL precuts! They are the greatest invention E.V.E.R!! Congrats, Pat on your 10 year anniversary.
Hi Pat,
I love fabric’s that are precut but also charm packs too. I will be working a quilt soon that the fabric is already cut up to start with.
Fat Quarters are my favorite precut because of no pinked edges. However, I do love receiving all of the fabric line in the 10″ square precut. Now that I have the Perfect 10 book, I am really enjoying the 10″ squares.
I like the layer cakes & The Perfect 10 book. Pat – your new line – Drawing Room – is so elegant – just love the paisleys.
I love your drawing room fabric line. I have never bought a layer cake and would enjoy creating with one.
I love charm packs and jelly rolls! I guess because I have a lot of free quilt patterns from The FatQuarter shop. Winning this layer cake I could cut charms times 4!!! Thanks for this opportunity to win!!!
I am a fan of fat quarter bundles. I have used layer cakes and jelly rolls, but I navigate back to fat quarters!
My favorite precut is fat quarters, but i probably get more creative with layer cakes. I try to use the whole 10â piece with no waste!
My favorite is the fat quarter bundle, but since buying the perfect 10 book Iâve been using many more layer cakes too! I love the pattern ideas in that book. I already have made tons of O My Stars quilts for babies and charity quilts
Beautiful fabrics!!
favorite precut is layer cake. I usually always buy a layer cake, but occasionally buy the jolly bar also.
I absolutely love this fabric line of understated luxury. Would love to sew and create with this fabric.
I have not seen this line in my fabric shoe so would love to win . Thanks again for all of your support in the community.
I love both layer cakes and charm packs! Bernartex makes really good fabric, too!
I donât think thereâs a better precut than the versatile layer cake. So easy for it to also be jolly bars, charms, mini charms, or a combination of them.
I like fat quarters, but have now decided to purchase 1/2 yards as they give more options.
I think fat quarters are more versatile. However, I have used layer cakes, jelly rolls, and charm packs. I think they all have a place in quilting. Depending on the pattern, they can make the cutting job easier.
I like the fat quarter bundle the best! I usually get these for projects for the variety of fabric. Iâm not very good at putting mixed themes together so the fat quarter bundle lets you do that with multiple choices. Thanks Pat for the videos, you donât know how much they help.
Depends on what I am doing.which precut is my favorite. I love fat quarter bundles when making a collection of small quilts. I love layer cakes when making larger quilts.
Love Fat Quarter Packs, but they are often $$$, so layer cakes are probably my first choice.
I love all precuts. I have a jelly roll just waiting for me to get started. Thanks Pat.
I think I like fat quarters best because you can cut them into whatever size you need. Layer cakes are great too because they are still big enough to use many ways. Mostly it depends on the pattern. Would love to win your Drawing Room layer cake! Thanks Pat and Benertex!
As my skills improve I am finding my favorite pre-cuts have also changed. I started with charm packs and jelly rolls. I’ve graduated to layer cakes. And am looking forward to exploring fat quarter bundles. I like how you can add to your stash fabrics that match.
