Frequently Asked Questions

What is your policy on returns?
You may return an item for full refund within 30 days. Refunds will be processed within 10 days of receipt of returned product. **your satisfaction is always 100% guaranteed!**
  What is your policy on returns?
Please be assured Easy Quilt Kits does not want to make money on our shipping rates. WE try to offer fair and reasonable shipping and handling rates. Matter of fact we just lowered our prices, so now you only have to pay $1.98 shipping on a pattern. One thing to keep in mind about shipping rates is that there must also be a handling charge to pay the person who packages and ships your product out, it can easily take 10 to 15 minuets per order. So your shipping and handling cost will usually only be a couple of dollars more than the actual postal shipping charge. Of course there is also the challenge of working with a on-line shopping cart. ;o) usually it works out to be pretty close but sometimes the price can get up there but the weight of the package doesn't, so if you think that maybe that is the case with your order, feel free to ask us if we can give you a more accurate shipping quote. Also unless otherwise stated your package will be shipped Priority mail, will be insured and come with tracking information.

Is your shopping cart secure?
Easy Quilt Kits uses only a SSL secure shopping cart system, see security statement.
What are my options for making a payment? We try to make it as easy as possible for you to make your purchase and get back to the rest of your day. Easy Quilt Kits excepts Visa, MC American Express and Discover, as well as PayPal and electronic checking. You may also opt to place an order by mail and send a paper check or money order . You may also call us at 1-800-939-5487 and we can take your information over the phone.   Are your kits made in America?
Yes. Although we have been encouraged (strongly) to go overseas to say, maybe China. "That is where the money is", we are told. But we want to be able to control the quality of our product line. Sometimes kits that are made overseas do not have the same quality fabrics as say you would buy yourself at a local quilt shop. True we could purchase these overseas fabrics at a cost of a dollar or less a yard and possibly bring down our prices. But these fabrics do not hold up to normal wear and tear of daily use,  and they don't hold their colors either. You are going to be putting a lot of time and love into your quilt projects, so obviously you are going to want the absolute best fabrics available, so your quilts will bring smiles of delight for years to come.  It is also true that labor is much much cheaper  overseas, but we know what the work environment for these people are and really do you want to support that? We don't, so that is why we are a "made in America" company ! Sorry that was so long, I guess I'll have to work harder to stay of my "soap box". :o)

What if I want to pay by check or money order?
When you checkout in the "Choose payment option" box you will see "pay by check or money order" click this box and follow the instructions. We now offer instant on-line checking, so you don't have to wait for your check to get to us and clear before your order is processed. Go through the same procedure as for a reg. check and once you have your invoice with your totals, simply click the Qchex option and fill in the check with your routing and check information. Not to worry, this process is through a secure SSL server.

Are there any cookies (hidden tracking device some e-commerce sites activate) in your site?
No, Easy Quilt Kits does not believe in them or use them. Our web site has a secure shopping cart and we only use information gathered when placing your order for internal purposes. We do not give out client information for any reasons.

What if I happen to ruin a piece?
Not to worry, most kits come with extra pieces. For those that don't, like the appliqué animals or the BOM kits, you can always send us the ruined pieced along with $1.00 and a self address envelope and we will send you a replacement immediately.

 How do I apply the shapes in the kits?
You will laugh when you see how easy it is! Just peel off the backing of the shape, position it over the fabric, iron, then you are done!
Are the kits different colors than on the web?
Sometimes, but they all are representative of the picture and color theme shown on web. For instance if the fabric is made up of a country nave print with tan accents than even though the print might not be exactly what it shown it will be a navy country print with tan accents. The reason being is fabric product lines change every few months, so we can not guarantee exact matches to the pictures on web or brochures. We do guarantee that the kit you receive will be close to the picture, coordinated in theme colors and very beautiful! We are adding fabric samples more and more and these are what you can expect to get in your kits. As an example go to our Advanced Designs page to see our Asian Treasure and the fabric samples shown.
Can I wash the quilt after I make it?
Yes, you can wash it and dry it! We use quality quilters 100% cottons which insure that the fabrics are durable and will hold their color though many washings. Quilts often look better after they have been through the laundry a few times. At trade shows, the quilt that gets the most admiration and ‘ooohing’ is over The Rosebud quilt that Ericka’s daughter has used and abused for the first 3 years of her life. It has been washed over 75 times!
Are instructions included?
Yes, we put a lot of time and effort into making sure our instructions are complete and accurate. We provide plenty of diagrams and helpful tips, we also provide a email address that you can write to if you run into any problems..
Are the instructions available in any other languages than English?
Yes, we will be happy to provide you with instructions in whatever language you need. Well, any major language that is. ;o)
How do I sew on a photo sleeve?
This is easy and you have options. You can use the enclosed precut photo sleeve and just sew with your machine as if it were fabric! Use a 1/8 inch seam allowance, and go for it! Hint: use scotch tape to hold two sides while you sew the third, then move tape to sew the rest. The tape helps keep your photo sleeve stable and won't leave residue or pin marks (don't pin it on).
Second choice, use embroidery floss (2 strands) and a primitive stitch to sew sleeve on. Make 1/2 inch stitches and make each stitch about 1/4 inch wide so it looks primitive. It doesn't matter if they are even or spaced out exactly - that is the beauty of the 'primitive' look. I suggest using cream colored floss.
How do I hang my Easy Quilts Kit  wall-hanging?
A couple of ways are available: You can buy a quilt wooden hanger with dowel, or you can have a rod sleeve sewn in back of your quilt and hang it on an invisible dowel on wall, or simply nail two tiny nails in the corners. Tie two little hoops to back and hang these hoops on tiny nails in the wall. (Our favorite).
What is a 'Fat Quarter'?
While a regular quarter yard of fabric is 9" wide and 44" long, a "fat" quarter is the same amount of fabric cut "fat". Fat quarters are twice as wide (18") but only half as long (22"). It's a little more versatile and the perfect size for those little bits you need for quilting projects.
Do the kits come in any other sizes than those shown?
Yes, we offer custom sized kits of all the patterns shown. It takes approximately 4-6 weeks for a custom kit. Look under custom orders for examples, and more information
