Re: Does this seem way out of line to you?

I sent an email stating---"you advertise your fat quarters as 18x10. A fat quarter is 18x21. Is this a misprint?"

received answer----"Yes this is a misprint. Should be 18"x21". Thank You. Lani

I would still call and check just what you are getting if you ordered from them. I think their prices were pretty high.

Not ordering anyway, even at 18x22 inches I think they are priced out of line - especially since they don't describe what you get. Guess I don't like guessing games.

They've corrected the measurements on the website now to 18 x 21 (except for the tapestry fat quarters). Way to go Dolores! I agree that their price is high.

No matter what you buy, you have to read how many pieces are in a bundle. Have seen "charms" with 10 pieces all the way up to 60 per pack. Same with layer cakes and jelly rolls....don't automatically assume they have 40-42 pieces. Guess there is no law of the land for charm packs, layer cakes, or jelly rolls. Read the fine print.

Reminds me of when I used to buy an 8 oz can of tuna for .79 now it's 6 oz for 1.19. Pay more get less seems to be the motto of the day.

And, the bundles have varying number of pieces from 7 to 15 pieces with prices running from $25.95 for 7 pieces to $49.95 for 15 pieces. No mention of manufacturer either.

I hope no sane person falls for these (unless I have missed the fine print that says they are made with solid gold).

What say you? Think this is an honest typo?

Those aren't even fat eighths....(18x11 or 9x22)
I would definitely call and ask.
