    Default Something I learned from Jenny yesterday at her trunk show

    During Jenny's trunk show she said moda only does one run of precuts so if you something you like you better get it because when it's gone it's gone

    Actually she said all manufacturers do that. Occasionally they will re run one but very rarely.

    Wonder what amount of fabric constitutes a run?

    Thanks.... Moda is my favorite...MIT seems to me that almost every time I love a fabric, it turns out to be made by Moda...

    My quilt guild had a designer who works with MODA come for a special program a couple months ago. The minimum on an initial run of fabric is 3000 yards up to 8000. There are a few manufacturers who will do reruns, but not many. In those cases they will run a minimum of 1000 yards. She went on to say that from the initial design being sent it may take from 6 to 9 months before the fabric will be ready to appear in stores. So, those lucky enough to find a much sought after piece of fabric from yesteryear are thankful that there are places that grab bolt ends and store them away.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Why is that? I mean, I have been wondering for some time that they are constantly bringing in new lines..all manufactures do it. I haven't a clue as to how the textile industry works, but good grief, someone has to come up with the design/print...have it printed in tons of yards (or whatever) and then sent to the stores and hope it sells. I would think it'd be pretty expensive to constantly be production new stuff so fast. I know new things come out all the time, but in this case...nothing it upgraded, or added to...just totally re done..so to speak. Why do they have the fabrics come and go so fast? I watch all the time and literally can't keep track of the many many many lines that come out nearly on a monthly basis!

    From my understanding, from Jenny, precuts are cut from the fabrics before the yardage is bolted. So once the precuts go out, that is it for that batch. It makes my head spin thinking of all the fabric lines that I have seen on here, let alone those that are not. We have too many choices!!!

    All of that being said, she also said most designers usually stick to a similar palette for most of their designs, so even though a certain line is no longer available, chances are the designer will have a line that goes with what has been discontinued.
