Scrap Bags of quilting fabric from Moda and Ruby Star Society. These save you money.

This video will take a close look at 2 popular quilting scrap bags. These are little bags of new fabric that typically are part of a collection or that coordinate with each other. They are typically are from the fabric manufacturer and are a result of getting left-overs after cutting pre-cut fabric bundles. These are noticeably less expensive than their "perfect" pre-cut family members. These guys are not quilt big enough to go into something. Some are just stragglers. No matter how they got into the bag, they are a steal in price. Let's take a look at 2 bags by Moda Fabric and Ruby Star Society. Check the links below to find these bags.

Oh! One other comment... give the scrap a good press; then hold it up to the LIGHT; these scrap bag fabrics are 'ends from the mfg. bolt where they were fastened to the machinery'... what you may not be aware of is that there is a line of pinholes just up from the selvedge edge where this occurred. The scrap has to be cut off along that pinhole edge, not the selvedge...as it is un useable in a project... sometimes you get lucky, and the pinholes are right IN the selvedge... but I have purchased the Moda scrap bags before, and have noticed this... it was still fun to buy them and to use them... but important to know, as the strips need to be cut down, from the original size from what they are when you purchased them.

[@SoftSquares]

great info

[@kathypeters9895]

I generally LOVE Ruby Star Society fabrics with those great selvages!!!

[@SoftSquares]

Do you make those cute selvage bags?

[@wolfcreekwench]

I’d make storage cubes out of those ..

[@SoftSquares]

That sounds like a great idea

[@hoperamsini7074]

You got a much better deal with the first bag. Thanks for sharing this info!

[@SoftSquares]

I think so too!

[@karla55578]

Thank you so much for the links

[@SoftSquares]

[@carolynmills513]

My Yorkie barks all the time! 🐕🐶🧡

[@SoftSquares]

I love my girls, even when they bark. lol

[@georgyporgy5539]

Those Moda scraps are sublime. I love them all.

[@SoftSquares]

I'm making a project from my Moda scrap bag, but it's in my UFO stash. lol

[@jeannemcclung2407]

Dogs are a PLUS in your LIFE !!!

[@SoftSquares]

I love dogs and I can't think of being without them.

[@virginiahughes3502]

Wow that's really interesting, never knew what was in then. Thanks for sharing

[@SoftSquares]

Glad you enjoyed

[@suehorn4182]

What great string quilts

[@SoftSquares]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dotlaing1085]

Really interesting…Thank You x

[@SoftSquares]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joycemartin685]

I love the Moda fabric scrap bag. The way it looked to me it was color coronated. I also loved the design. Thank you so much for doing this video because I always wondered what they looked like inside.

[@SoftSquares]

You are so welcome!

[@quiltingsista9724]

Hot diggity dog! I never knew these existed! These will be excellent for my paper piecing practice! Thank you 😊

[@SoftSquares]

Glad you like them!

[@Quiltycrazy]

Love the Moda!

[@SoftSquares]

They are great bags

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I want to make pot holders and hot pads, these would be amazing for that.

[@SoftSquares]

@mickey - I totally agree. I have a video on how to make them and just finished filming another one, which should post tomorrow. You should check them out.

[@judyking1575]

If you make charity quilts, you can make good quilts from those scraps even eith a bit of the selvedge showing.

[@SoftSquares]

i totally agree. this is a great way to use the strips.

[@barbierussell2838]

I got the cranberry line. From Moda I liked it so much I bought a jelly roll so with the scraps bag I made a baby quilt and with the jelly roll I made Rail fence. And it wasn’t vary big but couldn’t get any more fabric From that line. But I might of only got 3 scrap bags and it’s not a bad deal my first one was 12.00 but now it’s about 24.00 it’s doubled in price. Great way to save for that. Salvage quilt there so pretty.

[@SoftSquares]

there are so many options with these. glad you could make something you wanted.

[@connieking9873]

I just found this post. Enjoyed your review. I have looked at moda several times and always hesitate. I had never heard of the Ruby. I think we need to realize that it is scraps not pieces of yardage. If you are into mini projects, strings or FPP I think these would be great or for stash building. Still on fence whether to purchase or not as my stash is large and you can’t pick a color or colors which is what I want. Thanks.

[@SoftSquares]

Thanks for watching!

[@karenraabis5296]

So of course the Ruby Star was out of Stock. I definitely think it was a better deal for Ruby star if they were the same price.

[@SoftSquares]

Keep looking for them. They are not as easy to find as the others.

[@karenraabis5296]

I am a new subscriber and really enjoy your channel.

[@debbier3060]

I am new to your show. Love your video and thanks for showing the Ruby Star bag. I have never seen that line before. Very interesting. Oh my the music...sorry it was very distracting...looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@SoftSquares]

Thanks for watching!

[@suzannemiller993]

I bought the Moda bag one time. Very disappointed. Won't get it again. Strips were too narrow for my use after trimming off selvage.

[@SoftSquares]

that's the downside to the scrap bags

[@grammyd8361]

You can find the last grab bag (brown bag) at Green Fairy Quilts.

[@SoftSquares]

good to know. thank you.

[@rosemarywaddell4120]

I couldn't find whereto purchase these. The last time ( and only) is bag I purchased was 98 percent strings. I received a Email from where I purchased it from asking for my opinion of purchase and I don't believe they liked my response. It was a good stuffing for a couple of pincushions I (from Walmart fat quarters) I made. I would gladly order some of these bags. Thank you for sharing ☺️☺️☺️.

[@SoftSquares]

these are from the manufacturer and will be much better for you. Good luck.

[@SoPatch33]

❤

[@SoftSquares]

Thanks for your comment

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Love the doggie. ❤️

[@SoftSquares]

She is my buddy. Thank you for watching.

[@DH-qz2so]

[@SoftSquares]

thanks

[@dianehinckley131]

Bag were so annoying (the sound). but, enjoyed seeing what was in the bags!

[@SoftSquares]

thanks for watching

[@ruthchurchwell324]

You should say how much you pay for each one of these

[@SoftSquares]

good idea, but I can't recall what I paid now

[@hoperamsini7074]

Ugh- first the nails and then the plastic!

[@SoftSquares]

sorry. thanks for commenting.

[@user-hp1ge5rb7y]

MODA is a waste of money , their fabric is not what they want people to think it is.

[@SoftSquares]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@aydggonz3805]

Both scrap bags are manufactured by moda. The “smal” line was created by Kimberly Kight and the moda line was by Joanna Figueroa. Give credit where credit is due.

[@SoftSquares]

No credit was not acknowledged. I was not aware that Moda manufactured Ruby Star. After researching this I discovered that Ruby Star joined with Moda in 2019, but they have been around since 2013. I gave credit to Kimberly Knight at mark 4:19. I failed to mention the designer for Speckled, which is Rashada Coleman Cole, but it is very visible in the video who that designer is. This is not an excuse, but this was my 2nd try at this video, and I mentioned her in the first time around, but forgot that I didn't mention her by name in the 2nd one.
