Excitement Turned to Disappointment
I was excited to try the new Fat Quarter Sew What box and only paid for shipping as the first box was free. After seeing videos on the theme and fabrics, I cancelled my membership and now that I received my 1st box I'm glad I did. Now I shop at Joann Fabrics a lot and I love their fabric offerings and quality but to get all Joann's fabrics in a box that is priced as $39.99 per month to month is not worth it. 10 fat quarters from Joann's regular price is $3.49 so the box is upsaled to start with and I know they we're all Joann's fabrics because I pulled out one of the fabrics and realized it looked just like a yard of fabric I pulled for an project and it was an exact match. I also saw several of the other fabrics I got in the box at the local Joann's I was in this weekend. Again, I love fabrics from Joann's but I can go to the store to get them. This box may be great for someone who doesn't have access to Joann's but not me. There are other subscription boxes that are cheaper that give you fabrics that are not available at Joann's like Moda, Riley Blake and I find those much more special.

Thank you SEW much for your honest review! We had hoped to be working with a few fabric designers at this point in time--but our leads fell through. We are currently in negotiations with some new quilting fabric designers and plan to have completely exclusive prints available through our monthly boxes in the next few months. We are SEW excited for the upcoming upgrade!
