Robert Kaufman SS-101-40 Kona Solids Skinny Strips, 40 Piece, Black

I was very disappointed with how this felt. It does not feel like cotton quilting fabric. I bought it to use in a gift. If it were going to be used in something Id be keeping, I would send it back. The label is plain. I seriously doubt that it is Robert Kaufman. But, its here. Ill use it.

true black

Good product as advertised

the pinked edges are a real nuisance, making accurate sewing difficult and creating a lot of lint.. Next time I’ll cut my own strips.

I cant believe I used to hand cut these strips! I keep these on hand for my sashing and edging and the Robert Kaufman brand is very high quality and Ive paid more elsewhere. Ive seen comments about lint and the edges. Most pre-cuts have pinked edges and I line mine up from the bottom of the pinked edge. As far a lint; thats just a remnant of the machine cutting. I just brush it away and it does not affect my machine at all. I definitely will keep the black and white strips on hand. Its such a timesaver.

Solid jelly rolls are so convenient, but these Robert Kaufman 1 1/2 strips are 1 5/8 wide. I found out after some blocks did not measure correctly. I have to trim every strip to 1 1/2. Its possible that they are assuming you will line up fabric to the v of the pink, but Ive always read that you should line up your fabric to the points of the pinked edge. If you do that, these strips measure an eighth too wide. Ill look for another brand or go back to cutting my own.

I liked the convenience of having the strips pre-cut but because they used pinking shears or something similar I had lots of little black pieces of fabric all over my project. Probably wouldnt have been quite so bad if I were working on something using regular quilt fabric but I was working on a T-Shirt Quilt. I ended up using at least 2 whole lint rollers to remove all the little black spots from the 2 T-Shirt Quilts.

The product material is good, but it has a lot of black lint looking things that come off the fabric when you cut it. It does the job its supposed to.

Price and quick delivery

Great quality fabric for quilts
