Honest Review of Mrs. Quilty Subscription Box 🙄 and What They Don't Tell You and a Giveaway!

[@Kaylene16]

So many KZbinrs have drank the kool-aid and it’s disappointing to see people I respected giving glowing reviews to this company. Thank you for the honesty, it’s so refreshing! Oh and please, no need to enter me in your giveaway but thanks for being generous enough to give it away to someone who will use it!

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

I have seen several KZbinrs I follow giving a similar review to this one….only two Australian creators that gave it a good review….I have stopped following them 😝

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

I have seen some reviews like mine too, and even a couple of apology videos.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thanks for commenting and sharing, I also saw a person I respected give it a good review and it really helped push me to do this video, and I'll take you off the giveaway list 😆

[@jokelly1762]

I’ve thought that box sucked nice day one. I’ve never bought it but watch all the unboxings of it and laugh everytime. I’ve only seen one positive review and I was shocked that that person gave it a good review…just because it was provided free to them. Nope, free or not it was the worst box I’ve seen to date. Thanks for the video and the honesty.

[@paulabecker7483]

Thank you! I won't waste my money on cheap fabric. I taught myself to quilt before we had the internet. Buying good fabric makes a big difference.

[@Feuri-hx4zn]

Thank you for actually being honest. We need more of that

[@conniefrye3468]

As part of the quilting world, your review was so appreciated. You gave a very thorough and honest explanation and the alternatives you gave were perfect for all quilters not just beginners. Thank you for sharing.

The pattern is Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni 😃

[@DebraDrew-hf7jy]

@@Shelley-pb5sm I agree. I love it!!!

[@michellejaggard9657]

I canceled my box after receiving my first box. I told them I thought the fabric was ugly, thin and cheap. like you it took forever to order with all the pop up. and so when I was canceling I told them exactly what I thought. My Fat Quarter Box is 32 dollars a month and has designer quality fabric in it and 2 patterns that have been tested before being released.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

That sounds so much better.

[@popcornkills]

I really appreciate the honest review. I was only interested in the animals that are all the "bait and switch" patterns you talk about in the video. Really glad to see someone with quilting experience explain why a kit isn't going to work for my skill level. I would rather know this up front, rather then after I've failed at a new craft. Thanks again!

[@lyrrakell]

Thank you for this review. I always thought that the Mrs. Quilty boxes looked kind of scammy, so I always avoided them. Nice to see my instincts weren't far off.

[@labnurse1]

Thanks for your honesty and truth!! Some quilt stores have curated boxes, but the quality is so poor that I've regretted subscribing and unsubscribing to their boxes. Agree, that the projects are not beginner friendly. I've been quilting 40+ years so I feel I am justified in stating that. So many ads are false and misleading. Thank you again for posting this informational video.

[@beverleyvatcherpatterson282]

Great review Sam! Thanks so much for taking the time to walk everyone through your experience.

[@helenstamatelatos9319]

Thanks for all your hard work and research! That answers my question of Mrs. Quilty!

[@aninasmiles1]

Thank you! I was pulled in by the stuffy shots, but didnt buy the subscription at the last minute, because I realized it was click bait - and that is soo wrong. Thank you for spreading the word

[@balinda9716]

Not a beginner quilter but I just ordered one box, got the same one you got. Totally bait and switch. I cancelled by cancelling my payment method to them through my PayPal. So So glad for this honest review!!!!

[@cherylschultz3220]

Thank you for this detailed review. I've seen the ads for the box and wondered if it was worth the cost. I appreciate you talking about the animals too!

I don't quilt, but I love your sewing machine quilt you have behind you. I kept getting distracted looking at your quilt lines in the white background.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thanks so much! Those lines are what I do for work! All my other videos are about that. Thanks for noticing 😄

[@siamese35]

Thanks for the review. It struck me funny though. You had a measuring grid right under the fabric the whole time you could have used to measure.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Hahaha 😆 yeah. But it was more dramatic with the yellow tape. 🤣

[@mardellgrayhek9958]

Good to know this information. I have wondered about these types of things. Honestly, I thought they were a little overpriced for some things I've seen when people have shared. I'd rather take your advice. I'm not a beginner, but I think you have wise advice for the beginner. Like you say, a local shop is a good place to look for honest information, that is helpful as well as a quilt guild. There's too many places to get good information and links for good products to purchase. Thank you for the great review.

[@janeahrens572]

Definitely!!! Go to your local quilt shop and ask for help!!! I know of small shops here in Iowa that sell kits that they make up themselves and some even create their own patterns! Look and ask! Find one that you like working with and keep on with them. Ask for whatever types of kits and fabrics. They do listen!!

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

100% Thanks for commenting it helps others to know where to go and to ask for help.

[@laurielevell454]

I always surge the raw edges of my fabric before I wash it. I leave the selvages alone because they are sealed already. That way if I am washing several pieces of fabric at the same time, they don’t get tangled because there are no threads on them, the serger seals off the raw edge.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Where have you been my whole life!!! Hahahaha.

[@DeirdreQuinn-l9j]

I bought two boxes of Mrs. Quilts before canceling. I am a new quilter and I have been buying my fabric from Jordan’s fabric. I decided for the price of the box I could order the fabric of my choice and I thought the fabric was much better. Live and learn.

[@lucyscott736]

Thank you sew much for an honest review. I’ve seen other KZbinrs who reviewed this box, they weren’t as honest as you. New subscriber

[@georgiamccroy6527]

I just subscribed to this as well and got my first box. I got the same ruler but no pin cushion. There were some cheap straight pins though. I got sucked in by those cute little critter ads too. I’ve already canceled.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thankfuly you saw the light before so many others have. Such poor business practice!

[@mamavibetribe8878]

This has been great. I have been curious about Mrs Quilty but never looked into it because I don't need fabric.

[@GinaGrowe]

Excellent review. Several quilting influencers have reviewed this box and every single one has had the same review.

[@helenbrown3337]

That material is exactly the same as a little pack I bought from Amazon, mine were 15x15cm...and very cheap...under £7... I have just begun quilting, I've done a few scrappy ones, I only made clothes previously...lots of scraps... I enjoyed your review, I have looked at Mrs Quilty... prior to your review, so glad I didn't sign up. Thank you, from Scotland xx

[@helenbrown3337]

Forgot to say that there was 50 square...and yes I have made some blocks... I'm a beginner and I am enjoying it x

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Welcome to quilting! There are a lot of fantastic quilters in Scotland. I hope to visit someday! Thanks for watching.

[@sandybruce9092]

I recently watched a video and saw this box for the first time! I’ve been quilting since way back in the old days of sewing things by hand so st first it looked OK! The price seemed more than reasonable is which should be a clue! Ans then I started seeing videos explaining what the contents res,ly were - and cheap fabric is my #1 do not buy key!!! Thanks o Mich - glad I didn’t fall into this pit!

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

You are so welcome!

[@christined2066]

Wow! I actually did a 3 month subscription and canceled. The fabric looked the same each month just a different color and too many flowers. I was amazed to see this review and all its honesty. Thank you for being real and not trying to remain publicly neutral as so many KZbinrs will be. I wonder if they are worried they will be blacklisted.

[@barbolson8768]

Hi Sam. I just found your channel tonight. I live in Calgary. Thank you for your honest opinion about this box. I've seen several YT creators show this box on their channels and I've never been inclined to purchase it. I'll check out your other videos.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Hi! Thanks for joining me. I'm in Grand Forks, BC 😀

[@juniperraven1386]

Sewers club project box has full projects- everything you need and step-by-step video instructions. Every project I've gotten has been doable. Sometimes they recommend techniques that aren't my fav, but their techniques work. And everything you need including thread is in the box.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

That is so refreshing to hear!

[@peepers4763]

Don’t disagree with everything but not sure what aspect, of the comment something like, won’t learn enough from the series. Glad you washed the fabric. I was afraid too. Never quilted, the subscription box was my first. Learned the techniques needed to make the bloc. When i moved to a commerical quikt pattern, I’ve used the skills taught in box one. I had never seen those vivid cute stuffed animal ads. Nothing like those were shown during the ordering process. So, for those of us not around other quilters or sewers, KZbin the only educational source, the Mrs Quilty Box was a welcome addition. Yes, pissed the white fabric isn’t included. Lucky me, i have white fabric. Old sheets or pillowcase would have been my solution if needed.

[@leannmize5179]

I ordered one box and cancelled. Love my Fat Quarter Shop Sew Sampler box and patterns made by actual quilters!

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

Thanks for the review! I did get a Mrs Quilty box on a promo price after seeing a KZbinr open one that had fabrics I thought were really cute, and I actually like several of the fabrics you got in yours too, but my box was all shades of pink and I only liked a few of them. No ruler, no pin cushion, just a teeny tiny tin of tea and maybe a half yard of some sort of trim that I doubt I will ever use. The booklet said some chocolate was included too, but it was missing from my box. I canceled my subscription - the price was too high to risk getting mostly fabrics I didn't care for.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Yeah, quilting is a little tricky like that. So many design styles, any one box wouldn't make all people happy. But maybe a more artistic combination of fabrics, like a coordinating solid or large print.

[@Kim-xg1vm]

merchandising..is what it is. Thank you for sharing the box opening, saves many from overpaying for items that are a hit-or-miss. It is better to go to a local quilt shop. Those ladies are usually accommodating and willing to answer questions, and you can buy the fabric you love. I am a sewist but relatively new to quilting. It has a definite learning curve. PS I subscribed to you for your honesty.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the quilting side of the sewing world 😀

[@nancyralls3396]

Try putting the fabric, a few pieces each, in pillow cases or mesh laundry bags to help with tangling.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thanks!

[@RuthRSmith]

Thank you for this information. I was tempted to get it, but I won't do that. I'm a long time quilter and am sure I wouldn't want those fabrics. I'd like the pattern for the sewing machine that is in your background.

[@MaryanneN_]

Those stuffy photos in the ad are totally AI generated. 😠

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Yep, it's ridiculous 🙄

[@tsm5031]

Awesome review. I joined Mrs Quilty and was very disappointed with the contents sent each month. I'm just starting and figured I could build a little stash. I'm not a print lover. And I never got a useful tool like the ruler. So I ended my membership. I asked if they would ever offer solid fabrics in the boxes and was told not at that time. That ended it for me. I'd rather buy fabric I like vs a little fill in patchwork.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Yeah! The fabrics just clashed with each other, all the tiny prints with no real varity.

[@janeto7901]

Your honest review was well thought out and backed by your experiences. I agree and find other KZbinrs reviews to be dishonest. This was refreshing and most welcome!

[@DaliaCastello]

Iv noticed that there is a change in the block / quilt complexity rating I am making a quilt block that has 13 pieces a whole lot of half square match-ups rated as intermediate its more for an experienced quilter. I've seen beginner quilts that are intermediate which can be very discouraging for beginning quilters because they are just beginning and haven't realized the time consumed figuring out the layouts and what it will take to piecing the blocks, getting fabrics together and so on. I am glad you called the quilting queens out who sell these subscription boxes who promise ease and the fabric is expensive, when breaking down cost and a lot of times not a good weight for quilting a quality product Iv been quilting a long time and have figured out the nuances of quilting and garment making so I don't tread on subscription boxes because I don't like being surprised and subsequently disappointed. Love this video!

[@185235igegid8]

I tried one box. I wasn't too disappointed. I gave them another try. When I bought them they did not give measurements for their projects which I have heard they do now. After that I was done. I canceled. The fabric was so cheap and the extras were also cheap. Won't be buying again. Thanks for the honest review!

[@lesliebrayton8016]

I love the sewing machine quilt behind you!

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thanks the pattern is Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni

[@JoyceMiller-w3o]

I'm not excited about the fabric. Have two sets of the same fabric would not make me happy. I subscribed to the Fat Quarter monthly box for about 3 years. I really enjoyed the boxes. I couldn't keep up with projects so I cancelled. I still treasure & use many of items I received.

[@jilbertb]

I've never liked the fabrics on any company's project boxes. I am not a floral-y type of gal. I like batiks and I know you can get those, at about double the cost. The stuffed animals they showed are probably AI generated, not real items.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

They are 100% AI for sure. Thanks so much for watching I appricate your comment too, it helps other people understand.

[@SnapDragon764]

thank you for the review...annoying that it is so misleading especially for beginners

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

I have never thought subscription boxes were worth the money. Just spend the same amount and get products you want and need.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I got Mrrs Quilty. It's OK. I'm not overly enthusiastic about it, but it isn't terrible. I want to get a couple more boxes before I decide. I like the quilt block. I probably won't make the place mat, mostly because I don't use them. I am waiting to see what other patterns I get later.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

It's good to make your own assesments. The block is nice.

[@proud2bktsmama]

I subscribed, got one box, and then unsubscribed for many of the reasons you described. The fabric wasn't awful, but the patterns weren't what I expected. I expected quilting patterns from a company called "Mrs. Quilty." I would love to see piecing videos and review content on your channel. That's how I found you!

[@ellenpalmer8571]

Love the review. I have been quilting for several years and was not interested in the “box” when I saw the ad. There was nothing in the ad that was appealing. I appreciate the review and hope new quilters see it. :-). Yes, I would like more videos like this. You have put a lot of time into it, but for me (us) it is so informative. I “found” you recently…..watched your “spin the wheel” videos. Very creative and I hope to see more. I also like the quilt hanging behind you. Very cute. Wonderful quilting. (I am also a longarmer-free motion). Colorado USA

Hello! Thanks so much for your feedback. The quilt pattern is Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni. I'm so happy you are here!

[@donnastjules8157]

I live in Canada at the US border so I often opt for US shipping as it's cheaper. I'm glad that you did the review - I've seen so many ads too and wondered about it. I couldn't agree more about the bait and switch. It's also upsetting to me as I love quilting and want to share this hobby with others so they can get as much pleasure as I do. I don't want them to get frustrated with poor instructions and think that they can't learn to quilt and give up. I'm glad that you did the review and think it would be great for you to do more videos like this.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

I love introducing new people to quilting and this just makes me so upset too. Thanks for commenting!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thank you for the HONEST REVIEW!! I have seen others, some with free boxes, and I thought it was overpriced Fallderall! 12 fat quarters of cheap fabric, a ruler, a dollar store quality pincushion and a poorly written booklet for 33+ dollars! Holy cow! That is just unconscionable! I am so glad I reconsidered, even before I saw this, and much more so now!! Thank you for sharing this with us 🎉😊🌹🍀🤟💖🦓Liz in CALIFORNIA

[@RoseOriginals]

Unfortunately, I fell for it. Just ordered my first box this afternoon. I'm just getting into quilting so it might work for me. Thank you for your honesty.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

The fabric isn't too bad! Just maybe watch some other videos about quilting. You can totally do it.

[@susanpoulsen4961]

I got my first box today and the price is great for what I got. I liked all the fabrics I got and the quality is not bad.

[@deniseg7340]

Thank you for going the extra step of reading the "instructions" and then making the project! Too many reviewers are just looking at the box and flipping through the magazine without really READING it and seeing if it makes sense; reviewers who do this have lost my eyeballs and any ounce of creditibility with me.

[@sabrinabuoniconti5008]

Totally agree, really frustrated with the misleading ads.

[@UndertheNeedle282]

I reviewed this box and I didn't like it either. In the one I got, all of the projects had you use templates to cut out the fabric. You don't need a template to cut a square or rectangle. It's antiquated and limiting. It's much better to teach people how to use a rotary cutter and ruler. But then if you teach them that, they don't need this box. The boxes I like are Open Gate Quilts and Sew Sampler by fat quarter shop. Maybe everything isn't beginner friendly but it's not scammy and you get what you pay for.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

Thank you for the review, I saw the adverts and loved the cute animals , however to me they looked AI generated as even as a very experienced quilter I would struggle to make something like that , they just don't look real . I don't need to be entered in to any giveaway as I have a huge stash , but it's nice your giving it away and hopefully someone who needs it will get it . Great review.

[@andreamaclachlan980]

Thank you for your honest review.❤ I bought that yellow ruler off ebay several years ago. I think it came from China direct, and only cost a few dollars. I've seen other Mrs Quilty reviews similar to yours and commenters say the fabric is temu fabric. I've bought fabric direct from temu, it's awful. Then I found out about all the toxic chemicals in their fabrics. Ick. Not sure what to do with it now. After watching a Sew Yeah episode, where they trialled an AI pattern and it FAILED HORRENDOUSLY, total joke, I suspect there is a lot of AI input going on with Mrs Quilty. On a cheerier note, I LOVE that patchwork sewing machine hanging behind you. I'm going to investigate your other video's (this is the first time I've seen you) in the hopes of finding a video of you showing how to make it. I would love something like this, yours is by far the best one I like. This is the one I would love to make❤ Thank you for an awesome video.❤

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Sorry I don't show this quilt in my other videos, but it is called Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni and I know there avivideos on KZbin about it!

[@twinnish]

I appreciate that you gave a fair balance review.. It wasn’t a complete destruction, but yeah they didn’t come off looking very good but that’s on them not on you.

[@susanbraun698]

Interesting review. I just watched another review of a first Mrs. Quilty box. The way she described it was that in box one you learn some beginning techniques and with each box the techniques become more intermediate until you reach a more advanced level. You do not learn all these techniques in this one box. You make small projects focusing on techniques you will use in your quilting.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

The problem with this box is that there is not enough information for a true beginner to be successful, nor are all the supplies provided for the projects. In this box, the first block asks for half square triangles, which any seasoned quilter would caution a beginner to start with because of the distortion that happens while sewing, handling, and pressing. A beginner will not necessarily understand and become discouraged when their project comes out poorly. I appreciate that Mrs. Quilty tried to make a box for new quilters but they missed the mark and in my opinion, need to go back to the drawing board. As I mentioned it takes more practice than 2 or three small projects to learn these skills. If you are a new quilter, check out the links in my description and watch some videos. I believe if you want this box that, in combination with some KZbin videos you can probably figure it out, but you might have a funner time by following along with a KZbin series or asking at your local quilt shop or guild.

[@betseyryan6360]

I agree with your review Sam. A HST is definitely not for beginners. Even the pieced rectangle between the HST could be difficult for a beginner to piece accurately. A simple Nine Patch would have been a good beginning. To add this type of content occasionally to your weekly videos would be interesting and educational but I do prefer your quilting videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Yeah I will definatly stick to my usual content with some extras in there once in a while! Maybe reviews of longarm tools?

[@deliabee]

The book and the cheaper fabrics might be ok for a brand new quilter just getting started. But - the quality of the fabric just isn't up to standards. I think a new quilter would just get frustrated. Thanks for the open and honest review.

[@melissaburke5682]

As a quilter & someone who came to quilting … I blame Jenny Doan at Missouri Star, having learned to sew from a seamstress grandmother who never quilted a day in her life, those crazy looking stuffies are completely achievable but they take a ton of sewing work that a beginner would not be able to do. Quilter or otherwise, those are dollmaking skills but … I digress. If you want a great quilt subscription box you should try Fat Quarter Shop. They do a great on that isn’t too expensive $30.00 bucks I think before shipping. It will have fabric for a project but not the compete amount, you get fat quarters, charm packs or a specially curated jelly roll. You will need to supply any remaining for the project. There is usually a block of the month card for people to use with their stash, and some great gadgets. I will say you don’t need a sewing machine to put a block together. It’s one of the things you said that my gran would have gotten so riled up by. She always told me, “You have to learn to sew with a needle before you touch a machine. Machines require maintenance and when that happens, if you want to sew or continue the process, are you going to wait?” Sew … a block doesn’t require a machine to be put together, just a needle and thread. Trust me. Lots of women made quilts & clothing without a sewing machine.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Thanks for your comments. Hahaha, I could blame Jenny, too. I appreciate that you don't NEED a sewing machine. Thanks so much for watching.

The 'chemicals' that you mentioned in the fabrics as received are sizings/starches that are part of the manufacturing process. All fabrics should be washed before using.

I’ve seen ads for that company but shy away in general from kits like this because I like to know I get the most bang for my buck. As far as the AI advertising, that’s embarrassing for them, and the fact that they didn’t clarify that the AI pics were not a real representation of their pattern is unconscionable. I don’t like lies, but shame on them for not setting the record straight. That’s dirty business practices. 🤬

I think these subscription boxes must all have some powerful marketers because I don't remember seeing so many videos about these before this last year. It's crazy. I know I get tired of being sold stuff when I watch a video and when I know they got the box for free, it just turns me off and I don't watch.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

The company who contacted me is an advertising agency specializing in subscription boxes.

[@beckypetersen2680]

@@quiltingcurvestudio They must be doing a great job because I've seen quite a few smallish You Tube channels showing them - and once I realized they were sent them for free....I didn't watch. I didn't think they could do a very good job of really critiquing them when theygot the product as a gift just to advertise. I've actually been surprised so many quilters would spend their money on them since money is supposedly tight and when you buy a box like this, you have to take what they send you and not what you actually need. It's great for people who want a surprise every month but not if money is tight.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

@beckypetersen2680 Absolutely 💯. So many folks are struggling financially. Quilting can be extremely expensive, and this box is totally misleading people to believe that it's affordable and that they are getting what they need to make an entire project!

My first box i immediately canceled the rest. The fabric was so thin I could see my fingers through it. And it was an awful purple shade throughout. It was the third pinchushion id received in boxes that month! It wasn't my jam. Now I see all their influen erst talking about the quality fabric and am like... nah!

I had this subscription and I cancelled it. I wasn’t happy with the fabric and I’m not a fabric snob. If I go to Walmart I buy fabric but I order fabric also. Love your channel

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

100% agree!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I was sure those were AI pics, and that was stopping me from looking further into the subscription. Now I know I shouldn't bother for sure. I subscribed to your channel instead lol

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

Awesome!!! And welcome

Unbelievable that they advertise AI generated projects that they have no intention to offer patterns for.

I just couldn't watch it any longer! There are so many people in the Facebook group that are being scamed and it breaks my heart.

I saw two promo videos and they both went on about how "soft" the fabric is - not a good thing for quilt fabrics.

Good morning & happy Thursday! Well, this is a shame. I saw two videos recently where Mrs Quilty sent a box to the channel specifically for them to review, and it appears that that particular box (they both got the same one) was - let's say it was "fluffed" a little. It came with a nice set of pins rather than the pincushion (which personally I think is butt-ugly and too big for a wrist pincushion), and instead of the two identical fat quarter bundles, it was a nicely curated set of twelve different prints. One person's box came with a card correcting some errors in the patterns; if the other person's box had that, she didn't mention it, although she did make the pot holder and said she it was easy to make & had no issues in the process. I really thought the company had listened to the feedback and made some good improvements, but now I'm not so sure. I'm alarmed by how ratty the dried fabrics are! Sure, you're going to get a goodly amount of fraying, but that is ridiculous! I am surprised that they didn't shrink more than they did, so yeah I'll give them kudos for that. They may not be the best quality, but I've seen worse & I'm sure there are folks who would adore the floral prints (I am not one of them; please do not include my name in your giveaway as it would be wasted. Let the packet go to someone who loves them.) I hadn't seen those advertisements before, and my flabber is gasted. That is out-and-out false advertising. Even if those patterns existed, there's no way anyone who wasn't a master sewist would be able to make them. And the cat pattern they did release? It looks like they didn't use enough stuffing in their sample photo; either that, or the pieces don't fit together well because I definitely see some wrinkles/puckering near the neck & tail. BTW, I have that particular 6-1/2" ruler, and yes, the 1/8" lines are annoying as all get-out. That being said, it's very sturdy & I use it all the time, especially if I'm squaring up 5" blocks. Thank you for your thorough and honest review. Also PS, I love the sewing machine quilt you have hanging on the wall there :-)

We are definatly on the same page about this quilt box! I am happy I didn't work with them. The quilt behind me is Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni. Thanks for your comments too, they help other people understand what is really going on here!

[@kathyjclarke6732]

What is the pattern for the sewing machine quilt behind you?

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

It's called Stitch Happens by Kelli Fanni

[@kara1084]

Thank you for making this video! I’ve tried reporting the misleading ads and it doesn’t do anything. I try to comment and help people when I see it but I don’t think it’s actually reaching anyone. 😞 It’s completely unethical.

[@quiltingcurvestudio]

I know it's so frustrating!!!!

[@karentheniceone]

I canceled my subscription too. Mrs Quilty is run by people who don't have a clue about quilting. Their magazine is full of errors too. At one point they asked subscribers to let them know the errors they find 😳
