I'm So Sorry! UPDATE: Mrs Quilty Box - You Need to Watch This Before You Buy!

[@karenh789]

This company is not run by experienced quilters as they claim. Thank you for your comments.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I agree, I don't think they are either.

[@buffielorah9946]

Very well stated. I agree. They need to have the patterns tested, and the fabric quality is key to any subscription box.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Absolutely!!

[@Mitziquilter]

Thank you for your honesty. It is good to know when a product has not been fully tested before it is shipped. 😁

[@Wildberryquilting]

♥

[@catherinemccurdy7518]

Did you do a burn test on the fabric? You can tell very quickly if it is 100% cotton.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I didn't but that's a great idea. If we get a day that isn't quite so windy here I'll try that out and share the results.

[@fralou1]

How is this test done?

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

I think you are very kind to share your experience. I sure hope your daughter gives quilting another chance!! 🌞🍓

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you! I sure hope so too. ❤

[@MsMollyBear1]

Thank you for sharing I couldn't make up my mind to subscribe to Quilty or not now I know not too.

[@Wildberryquilting]

There are a lot of fantastic subscription boxes out. If you're considering one check out some of my Sew Sampler videos. Or check out Holly's channel "Dandelion Stitches". She is doing "battle of the boxes" where she compares lots of quilting subscription boxes.

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thank you for your honesty. I was contemplating, now I know better. I hope you can get your daughter a good pattern and fabric. I Love the poppies behind you. 🎉❤😊

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm glad I was able to help. I'll let her get into my stash of good fabric and patterns when/if she is ready to try again. The poppy picture is some type of needlework that I rescued from a garage sale. 😊

[@DandelionStitches]

Huge hugs, my friend. I respect your honesty. I wish I could put a warning label on Mrs Quilty. I do not feel that they are a reputable company.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Hopefully this will serve as that warning or Mrs. Quilty will take it as an opportunity to put things right and create a better product.

[@rachelburgener819]

AMEN ❤️😀

[@marniehoisington9241]

My personal experience with the Mrs. Quilty box was similar to yours!! They are not a reputable company!! Thank you for going public to save others money for such a low quality product!!❤

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm sorry to hear you ran into these problems too. Hopefully this will help save some people from that experience.

[@margiefly8705]

New quilter here 😊 thank you for your honesty

[@Wildberryquilting]

Happy I could help. Welcome to quilting! You're going to have so much fun. ☺

[@Kim-xg1vm]

Thank you for sharing. What is sad is those, along with yourself, have paid hard-earned money for this "product". This type of scam needs to be exposed.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I agree that is sad. Just to be completely transparent they did send me this box free for review. I feel bad for those who did spend their hard earned money on it though. I've reached out to the company asking that they make things right for those people. I haven't heard anything back yet though.

[@karensimpkins8323]

Thank you for an honest review.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I always try my best to be honest. ☺

[@leasmadello4493]

Glad to see this youtube. I came across that group..alot of problems with their boxes and instruction booklets- thank you for your honestly.. soo sad though that they are misleading people..😔

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm glad you came across my youtube as well. Welcome! If they put half the effort into their product that they put into advertising they would have a much better box. Sadly I think the advertising has gotten many people though.

[@pennypipes6039]

So 10 days later have they reached out to you

[@Wildberryquilting]

Nope not yet. I tried emailing them the day I posted this video and they haven't replied to that either.

[@susanowen1709]

That was the most diplomatic "The fabrics are lousy" I've ever heard. And 1/2" wide blocks? It would be hilarious if it weren't for the frustrations it will/has caused people who just want to make something nice. I hope your daughter won't let this experience turn her off of quilting or sewing in general. Thank you for the update and your honesty.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I always try to be as kind as honesty will allow. I know what you mean 1/2" wide blocks is almost comical if it wasn't something that a beginner might not catch. I'm hoping my daughter will want to try quilting again this summer. *fingers crossed*

[@OrlaQuirk]

Thank you for your honesty! I saw something similar on a review for Mrs. Quilty boxes. And just today my sister mentioned seeing really cute animals by Mrs. Quilty. So I suggested we look up the company, 'cuz I heard some bad things , and sure enough... Thanks so much. You've helped many people.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you! I'm glad you found my review helpful. I always try to be honest with you guys, even if it isn't pretty.

[@Quiltycrazy]

Thank you your honesty. I’m sure this was hard for you to do, yet this is much appreciated.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I try my best to be honest and admit when I'm wrong. It means a lot when people appreciate that. Thank you! ♥

[@normatulloch376]

Thank you so much for this. You are very brave to say you were wrong.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you! I appreciate your understanding. It's not always easy but I always try my best to be honest and fix my mistakes.

[@kaypatterson1378]

My red cotton changes color when I iron but goes back to normal when it cools

[@Wildberryquilting]

That's what happened when we ironed it as well. I'm concerned what that means about the fiber content and dyes that are used.

[@terridean4784]

Dark blues, reds and burgundy’s all do the same temporary darkening when ironed, even in high quality fabric but I think your slippery fabric was broadcloth which is part polyester. It is extremely cheap fabric that should not be in a subscription box. It is not considered quilting cotton even though you CAN quilt with it.

[@Wildberryquilting]

@@terridean4784, yes I've noticed it on some other red fabrics (not as much on blues). However this was far more than I've ever seen before. I mean it was a drastic change. So much so that I was concerned it had started to melt or something. It went from a bright red to dark burgundy. I think it mostly went back to normal but it was outside of the normal shift you usually see.

[@fernie5128]

Did you approach the company with the issues? If so what was their response? How frustrating for you and your daughter!

[@Wildberryquilting]

I did. I sent them an email regarding it and also letting them know about this video the day I put it up. So far there has been no reply.

[@valeriethompson3539]

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with this box company I was considering ordering it for myself I’m very glad I didn’t and now I’m not going to again thank you very much!!!

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm happy my review helped.

[@rhondahallet8413]

I think the pattern says 3 1/2 X 3 1/2. They merely used the word three instead of the number.

[@Wildberryquilting]

That's a good thought, I considered that but I think the spelled out three was referring to the amount of those pieces that need to be cut. If you look at the image of the cut pieces you can see that there are several pieces cut to the same size, so if the written number isn't the number of pieces to cut then that information is missing.

[@OrlaQuirk]

I came here to say this. I think it might have been that there was supposed to be three, three and a half inch pieces and maybe an editor , or something like a computer program that edits English, decided that they didn't want the two threes together. I've worked with word processing programs that will ask you 'did you mean "had had"? did you mean "three three"' I'm guessing some computer program decided it was wrong, and took out the "extra" 3

[@jacalynstaten5607]

I did watch another unboxing and I was shocked at how thin the fabric was. Thank you for helping me reinforce my initial opinion. I will not be purchasing Mrs. Quilty boxes.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm glad to hear others are beginning to show the quality as well. I've heard from so many people who were disappointed with what they got.

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

Thank you for your honesty!

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you for your understanding. ☺

[@DebSthePugMamaQuilter]

I tried Mrs Quilty and gave it 2 months. I was so disappointed with the boxes that I canceled them after I received my 2nd box. I will still be purchasing the Sew Sampler box from Fat Quarter Shop. More bang for your buck with them. Good luck to your daughter and her quilting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the box.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Oh yes absolutely. I think the Sew Sampler is far better. Thank you for the well wishes to my daughter.❤

[@barbarawiedrich9699]

I bought this box in the past, I agree with you. I got 3 months worth just to give them a chance but sadly, no. I do not recommend them at all. Templates are paper for one thing, this is not a way to learn to sew nor create a beautiful quilt of your own. thanks for sharing, have a blessed day.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thanks, I hope you found a box you enjoy. You have a blessed day too.

[@jackielam6284]

Thank you!

[@Wildberryquilting]

❤

[@RosieRobot-c3d]

Mrs. Quilty likely sources their fabric from Temu. So far I have found all my fabric there, sold in the exact same bundles for $5 or $6 a bundle of 8. The fabric is listed everywhere on Temu as 80% cotton, which means I can't use it to mix and match my other fabrics. It also puckers when ironed on a cotton setting, so that's another thing to deal with. I stopped after 3 boxes. The people are lovely, but the instructions are often hard to understand, the fabric is below even the quality I want for a cheap quilt and I would prefer 100% cotton (which Mrs. Quilty claims this is, but it isn't).

[@Wildberryquilting]

I've heard that quite a bit. I might have waited too long to look for the bundle I got on temu but I have seen bundles others received on temu. So I absolutely believe you. I think you're also right that it is likely not 100% cotton. It just doesn't feel like it to me. I've considered doing a burn test.

[@Ellen-misty.meadows.]

I received one box last year and it was horrible. I canceled!

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm hearing a lot of that. They never did reply to my email letting them know of the issues either.

[@dorotheakominos1313]

I’m so sorry that you had to deal with this. I am particularly sad about your poor daughter. Hopefully, this won’t affect her desire to quilt in the future.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you, I hope she'll eventually want to try again too. ❤

[@barbolson8768]

Mrs. Quilty owes an explanation and refund to it's customers.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I feel the same way. I did reach out to them via email regarding that but I haven't heard anything back yet.

[@Mac_Gaming-z8o]

Maybe you can do a video of the books you have uded and where to get them. Im sure that would help alot.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I normally work from patterns rather than books, unless they are sampler books. I'll think on it and see what I can come up with though.

[@BJ7481]

Have you or do you plan to reach out to them about the errors in the pattern? Maybe they will make the necessary corrections and forward them to you and other customers.

[@Wildberryquilting]

That is a great idea. I'll send them and email and see what they say.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Ok I just sent them an email explaining things and requesting a correction for those who purchased the box. I'll give them some time to reply and I'll make another update to let everyone know what is said.

[@sandracedar368]

⁠@@Wildberryquilting I'm looking forward to hearing how was resolved. TY🫶

[@sharontuch3405]

Thank You for the update. Tell your to just forget that day, I’m sure she was aggravated. Mrs. Quilty has a big problem. They put far to much $$ in the book when I could be used for better fabric and making sure patterns are right. 🤗

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thanks! I'm just giving her some time right now. Hopefully when she has more time during the summer she'll want to try again with a better pattern and better fabrics.

[@sharontuch3405]

@@Wildberryquilting Maybe find just a small house block and she can make a pillow to start for her bed? Just an idea. 😀

[@Wildberryquilting]

@@sharontuch3405, that's a fantastic idea! Thank you for the suggestion. ☺

[@theladyladyamy]

My sister found the same fabric on Temu.

[@Wildberryquilting]

That's what I've heard from a couple other people too. I might decide to revisit this with an update video. If so I'll include that information.

[@debikami1]

Wow, not the first time I’m hearing this over time😢

[@Wildberryquilting]

You're right. I've gotten so many people telling me they had similar experiences.

[@debbiebyess2766]

I found errors in the instructions of the three boxes i got as well and so discontinued my subscription too. I told them about it when i unsubscribed but nobody bothered to reach out. Would not recommend.

[@Wildberryquilting]

For there to be so many errors, I don't think these patterns are written by anyone who actually sews and certainly not tested. I emailed them when I posted this video and I haven't heard anything back yet either.

[@martibrown2993]

Many other reputable companies out there. I have been teaching my granddaughter to sew/quilt. I tried Mrs. Quilty also and found the material lacking. I received two boxes before I cancelled it with the same complaints. Since then I have not heard any positives about this company!

[@Wildberryquilting]

You're right, there are so many wonderful boxes out there. How fun to be teaching your granddaughter. I hope you two have lots of fun making memories and quilts together.🥰

[@SoPatch33]

I to purchased two boxes and was totally disappointed with the fabric. Needless to say, I canceled the box. I put the fabric into the Goodwill pile.

[@Wildberryquilting]

That's awful, I'm sorry to hear that. I really hope this video helps save some people from that same experience.

[@theREmissionary]

I've seen more than one channel that extols the virtues of this company, and others that say it's not a good company. I will not order from them because I just don't trust them. I'm not sure if they are out of China, but if so, China doesn't really have any type of quality control that I've seen, so I'm thinking they put whatever they have in the fabric, not just cotton.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I know what you mean. The reviews are all over the place. I will say that I think you are right about the fabric coming from China though. I've been told by many people that they found the same fabrics on Temu.

[@colleen3252]

Is this box shipped from another country? That might be the problem…..just saying!

[@Wildberryquilting]

I don't believe it is but I could be wrong. After I put out this video some people have told they have found the same fabrics on temu. So I'm wondering if someone is buying stuff from there and repackaging it for this box.

[@annakelleher7932]

Thank you for posting this. I was going to order the box but for some reason i waited. I will not be buying this. Again thank you.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Glad I could help!

[@lindathomas5207]

To late for me I ordered my box today hoping mine will be different as far as the pattern I can see error in printing which any quilter would know they left out the 1 before the 1/2 I always proof read patterns because errors happen I'm just hoping rest of box is ok buyer beware and I just took your word but that's my fault not anyone else's will see for myself if not as I like will cancel thank you for the heads up

[@shareenmasoet796]

That's why we have proof readers

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm so sorry this video got to you too late. I hope you have a better experience with them. Just know that if you have a problem that it isn't just you.

[@brendaclement6753]

As long as you don’t open the package, you can return it to them, free postage, and they should credit you. Good luck.

[@fralou1]

I just ordered a box tonight. I emailed asking for a refund. I’m hoping I get one. I have a friend who’s giving me a box.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I hope so too. Trying out the one from your friend first would be great.

[@fralou1]

I got my refund not long after I sent an email. So very happy. Now will check out my friends box she got for me.

[@Wildberryquilting]

@@fralou1, that's great! I'm glad to hear it.😊

[@patricianewman5233]

I saw most of the fabric on temu. Cheap. No real templates, box should have more in it to be worth the money.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Someone else said they heard it was from Temu too. That is appalling. I had no idea.

[@Diann-z5d]

I was very disappointed with my only box of Mrs.Quilty. Poor quality fabric. I didn’t even look at the patterns. Now I have to go check them out

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'd be really curious to know if books they sent out for other months had the same problem. If you check I'd like to know. I sent them an email about it and I'm waiting for a reply. I'll bring that up if you let me know.

[@conniejoperkins2181]

I was watching another KZbin quilt person videos and I can't remember which person it was but they said the mrs.quilty fabric comes from temu but I don't know if that's true.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Oh wow! I've never even thought to look for fabric on temu but now I wonder.

[@glendateasley8903]

Just canceled my box. So disappointed with my experience! Poor customer service, poor fabric, and the rulers markings were hard to read. My daughter finally realized the numbers were on the wrong side and the ruler was blurred like a used ruler.

[@Wildberryquilting]

That stinks. I didn't even get replies to emails so I totally get what you mean about the poor customer service too.

[@marniehoisington9241]

I subscribed several months ago and found the quality of fabric to be poor and several errors in instructions, I cancelled after 2 boxes!!

[@Wildberryquilting]

You aren't alone. I had almost the identical comment from someone else like two days.

[@alibur19]

My experience was the same. Very disappointed in the box.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm hearing a lot of that since uploading this video.

[@nancycollman9356]

I joined, and I also found many issues. I am no longer getting getting this subscription.

[@Wildberryquilting]

It seems a lot of people have been disappointed with it. I never did get any reply from them either.

[@wiccasdream]

The fact you bough it with all the ai images their adds use is surprising. All reds darken when you iron them and chances are its a poly cotton not a 100% cotton.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thanks for your comment. I actually didn't see any of those ads. This box was sent to me over a year ago now. Perhaps those ads are newer? They sent me the box free for my honest review which I did mention in the original video. This is the update to that video but I believe I mentioned it in this one too. You're right that most reds do darken when you iron them. This one did it to an unusual degree that I had not previously or since seen though. I think you're correct that the fabrics were likely a poly cotton. Hope you're having a beautiful winter solstice. 😊

[@nancisailormoy9135]

This is not the first time I've heard this and a subscription that should be avoided at all cost.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Unfortunately it seems a lot of people have had similar experiences with them. On top of that they didn't respond to my emails either.

[@MarilynLovell-e3i]

I canceled my subscription after one box. It was horrible….

[@Wildberryquilting]

It seems a lot of people had similar experiences to you. It's a real shame.

[@angiemitchell7148]

Don't buy. I bought two boxes, both had incorrect instructions. I cancelled my subscription.

[@Wildberryquilting]

Sorry to hear that. It seems a lot of people have been experiencing the same issue.

[@roseambrose7971]

I cancelled my subscription.

[@Wildberryquilting]

I don't blame you. Did you find this video after?

[@teribare4377]

I see why you don’t have much of a following, we all have bad Times, bad days, and patterns that have mistakes. I think Mrs. Quilting is a decent company for what we pay to get these boxes. Maybe you and your daughter can push it aside and move on

[@Wildberryquilting]

Thank you for your input. I'm glad you enjoy what you receive from this company. Mrs. Quilty asked me for an honest review so that is what I gave.
