Creating your own in-house precuts and bundles is a fantastic way to set your shop apart, maximize profits, and tailor selections to your customers’ preferences. Whether you’re looking to add unique offerings to your inventory or make the most of existing fabric, crafting custom bundles can be a game-changer. Here’s how to get started!

1. Choose Fabrics with Intention

Start by selecting fabrics that complement each other and appeal to your customer base. Consider mixing:

Prints and solids for balance
Seasonal themes for timely appeal
Trending colors to stay current
Basics and blenders for versatility

2. Determine Precut Sizes

Decide which precut sizes best suit your shop’s needs. Popular options include:

Fat Quarters (18” x 22”) – Ideal for a variety of projects
Charm Squares (5” x 5”) – Great for quick patchwork
Jelly Rolls (2.5” x WOF strips) – Perfect for strip quilts
Layer Cakes (10” x 10” squares) – Versatile and beginner-friendly

3. Brand Your Bundles

Make your precuts recognizable by incorporating shop branding:

Design custom labels or stickers with your shop’s logo
Use color-coordinated packaging for a polished look
Give each bundle a unique, catchy name to entice customers

4. Price for Profitability

Factor in the cost of materials, labor, and packaging when setting prices. Consider:

Offering slight discounts on bundles to encourage larger purchases
Pricing competitively while maintaining a strong profit margin
Creating limited-edition bundles at premium pricing

5. Market and Sell Your Bundles

Promote your in-house precuts both in-store and online with these strategies:

Feature them in quilt kits or beginner-friendly project ideas
Highlight them on social media with styled photos and videos
Run bundle-specific promotions or limited-time offers
Offer exclusive bundles for loyalty members or special events

Industry Insight: Gloria Andersen, Regional Account Executive

When I ran my shop, creating curated bundles was one of the most powerful (and fun!) ways I connected with customers.

People came in weekly just to see what was new on the table—it became a moment of discovery they looked forward to, and so did I.

My best-sellers? Not full collections. The magic was in mixing basics, leftovers, and the unexpected. It worked because it felt fresh—and personal.

Now, as a fabric rep, I always tell my shops: bundles aren’t just pretty—they’re strategic. They move fabric, boost margins, and give customers something they didn’t know they needed.

Because fabric’s like the ocean: ✨ It has to go out before it can come back in. ✨

So mix, match, and make it yours. Trust your eye—and move that stash.
