MRS QUILTY * First experience *What do we think? 

Hi Kimberly! Sorry that was your experience, though I'm not surprised. Right now my channel is doing a feature called "Battle of the Boxes" where I open boxes from several companies and you, the viewer, is encouraged to vote and give your honest opinion. It's a great way to see what other companies offer and at what price. Also, I do frequent giveaways of the boxes I don't want to keep and you can enter to win one of those. There are better boxes out there, I promise. For starters you might want to look into Fat Quarter Shops Sew Sampler box. It's a good box and a fair price point.

It doesn't measure a whole fat quarter and I hated, hated the fabric. It is like what you get on Temu!

Sew Sampler is the same price and has beautiful fabrics plus much more included in the box. I've only gotten two so far but both times there were two Moda charm packs, plus other things. I'm sure you saw Holly's unboxing a few days ago. Just saying cost shouldn't be a determining factor.

Mr. Holly got a good chuckle out of that. Appointment went okay. We still don't have a definitive diagnosis, but we sure know all the things he doesn't have! Nothing life threatening at this point. 😄😘

@@DandelionStitches Haha😉 I was hoping he would. That's good news! Hang in there❣ XOXO

For the whole bundle? Hmmmm....

Those tacks are a big mystery.

Definitely not my favorite box.

I feel bad for people who subscribe to this box thinking it's going to be something special. The people who produce that box ought to be kind of ashamed of themselves.

@@DandelionStitches oh I agree. Lady I know I think she gets free box and another lady I know they asked her to contract with them. I think most of us talked her out of it. She is just a Dear Lady and I don’t want her getting hurt. IMO if they would spend more on quality fabric and not sending a very costly box plus the book, maybe they would do better.

Good morning, Lynn! xo

Hi Sandra! As far as subscription boxes go, for a beginner I always recommend Sew Sampler from Fat Quarter Shop. Price point is reasonable and the patterns are well written. My favorite box is Open Gate. The patterns are a bit more challenging, but you get at least two projects and the fabric is always lovely. Good luck on your quilting journey. If you are on Facebook, you might want to join the Dandelion Stitches Facebook group. All the members are eager to help a new quilter!

I'm so glad you shared your opinion here. It's good to hear a positive review.

Hey lady so I wanted to come back here and formally apologize to you and admit I must eat a lot of crow right now. I learned a hot lesson that sewers usually know what they are. Talking about and I am truly humbled going forward. Mrs quilty ended up being horrible . Not clear no instructions I was nothing but frustrated and told them they are not for beginners liars and unsubscribed . I am thinking about going with fat quarters one but don’t know if they are truly for beginners . I hope you can forgive me jumping from ignorance and I would like to learn more from you and subscribe . Thank you hun

@@MrShadasey We all live and learn, and you coming back to apologize was a very nice thing to do. Personally, I like the Sewers Club Stash Builder box, partly because the fabric is of good quality and 99.9% of the time I love the print; and partly because it's so gosh-darn customizable. When you sign up, you can choose between one box a month, one every other month, or one every three months; fat quarters or half-yard pieces; and how many pieces you want (5, 10, or 15 for fat quarters; 3 or 7 for half-yards). I get 15 fat quarters every three months; it's $35.09CAD plus shipping per box, which works out to $43.42USD. Best of all, they take your personal likes & dislikes into account. They have checklists of "please send me" and "never send me" colors and pattern types, which you can not only select when you sign up, but you can go in later on and make changes to it. (I recently adjusted mine to "no greens" as I bought lots of that color over Christmas, and "yes batiks" since I've used up almost all of the ones in my stash). They also have a project box, which I don't subscribe to but always drool over when I watch unboxing videos. Check out some of Holly's videos & see what you think.
