Date Posted:10 January 2023 

 

Every quilter or sewing enthusiast knows that purchasing fabric is always exciting and for ease pre-cuts are a must as the cutting and fabric-matching work has already been done for you! The best part about pre-cuts is that it's incredibly easy to use them in quilt patterns and sewing projects like bags and home furnishings

But if you're new to using pre-cuts , it can be hard to keep track of all of the different cuts, especially those lovely pre-cuts with fun dessert names. If you can never keep track of the difference between a layer cake or a jelly roll, then never fear, because TOMG is here to save the day with our ultimate guide to pre-cut fabrics.

You may not think so immediately, but buying Layer cakes to cut into smaller pre-cuts can be economical. You can get two charm packs from a layer cake and still have fabric left over to cut strips for binding and borders. Here are some ways to slice a Layer Cake.
