The companies need to do something about that or they will be loosing a lot of business. I believe Hannaford carries that snack mix.

I find flaws especially troubling in precuts, since there isn't much fabric in the first place. You usually need to use most of the precut in the project, making it difficult to avoid any flaws or to use pieces that are smaller than they should be.

I have also had problems with buying fabric online and having a yard be 35 inches. With the price of fabric, that doesn't make me very happy. I really appreciate the companies that give you an extra inch to insure that this doesn't happen.<br /><br />I can't see what you are talking about on your JR's so I hope it doesn't show when all quilted.JustPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045804511378274932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251826517940652812.post-69140666310014754882012-11-12T11:02:50.374-08:002012-11-12T11:02:50.374-08:00Thank you for being honest and letting the public ...Thank you for being honest and letting the public know about possible flaws.

Some were as much as 1/8" narrower than the 2-1/2" they were supposed to be. As a result I had to work much harder to make the pattern work - the whole idea of using the JR was to make it easier! My LQS has had to send back quite a few bolts lately too that have had some pretty serious flaws. As you say, at the price we pay they should have better quality control!<br /><br />And now after that rant, I do want to say that I absolutely love your block!
