I have the same fabric pieces before using I washed them and, wow, they washed up great and I think they were nicer after the wash, oh and they iron really nice... great post thanks for sharing
Having bought a few bits and pieces I'm convinced they have sourced many items from the same place as our recognised brands. It goes to show how many companies are getting their manufacturing done in China. I have bought a few fabric packs and they are really hit or miss. I bought all quilting cotton and the quality varied immensely. Their sizing is metric so the are all slightly off for imperial sizes, ie 25cm squares are under 10 inches, so that may drive quilters nuts. Also one or two of the packs had an occasional piece that had been cut wrong. For me its fine for the price and to get a variety for applique etc but im not sure all quilters would be happy with all fabrics. Its very hard to distinguish between good quality and poor quality by pictures and descriptions given.
Had to come back to leave a comment. Went to Dollar Tree the day after I watched this video. I found 3-packs of Eyebrow Shavers for $1.25. Bought 2 sets, as I do upcycling of clothing & other fabric items. MAJOR gamechanger!!!! Thank for the idea. Cuts the thread easily, but not the fabric unless I put lots more pressure on it...which helps in the places with 4 or more pieces meeting.
OMG! I have just spent eons unpicking shirts Grrrrr! I did see these on Temu but was sure that they would cut the fabric, so thank you for the brief demo. I will now buy some of them.
Temu rulers for quilting are nice. Some don’t have instructions but one can watch utube for that ruler. Temu’s prices ARE going up now though for certain items.
Great haul! The purple thang dupes are great for lots of uses besides poking corners and turning things. THe slit can be used to put elastic through (like the bodkin tool) a casing, the point is like a stiletto and great while sewing, the other end is 1/4 inches so great for quilters. I use mine to hold fabric when sewing the end of a seam instead of my finger, to pull thread through after using the automatic needle threader, and for lots of odd uses. It's an awesome tool and SO much cheaper from Temu than Joann or anyplace else. I also love the seam roller. Use mine instead of ironing seams.
Your cotton strips are nice - those short ones - I ordered those as well but longer - like the half Jelly Roll and I ordered two.. They look Korean or Japanese to me.
@JoAnnHarvey I have gotten so much from Temu, such as large pieces of ribbon and made things. But I never thought of the things you showed. Just great! I plan on going shopping soon, lol. Thanks again!💖
The price difference is not due to the mark up for a brand name but because the brand name has invested in coming up with the idea, designing it, patenting it, producing it, testing it, etc., whereas Temu producers merely steal the idea, and copy it, often with inferior material… Of course they can sell it for less. They don‘t pay designers and experts to come up with great ideas and do not go through the processes of marketing, patenting, and copyrighting… They merely plagiarize…
I have thought about it a few times, I feel a little bad about it too, but so many of the items are the exact same thing you buy on Amazon. I think we are supporting China to an extent either way.

13:38 you can do a scrappy quilt with all those
I just bought fabric from them and I was very pleased.
Your tweezer looking thing is actually a bodkin. 😊
I use a pair of hemostats for turning things and pulling elastic. They are awesome.

Thank you, it really makes my day that I made a difference! It's the little things.

I got the wooden roller, bigger that the tiny plastic one
I have a wooden one too, I like it the best!

The 9" strips can be used with rail fence

Thanks, I totally agree they are very versatile. I use a stiletto to push in tight areas, I've gotten my finger with the needle, not fun!
The little red and green mini screwdrivers...are they pretty solid? Just paid $8/pair!! Yours were part of the sewing machine cleaning kit!!!
They really are great Honestly almost everything is pretty darn good!
I bought them as a 2 piece set. They are fantastic. They were less than 2 euro I think.
How about links to your items? I love your video. You did an excellent job.
In the description there is a code and a link to TEMU.
The 2.5" strips are Japanese fabrics. The owl fabrics could be cotton sateen. the small ones you could make coasters with them.
That's just what I was thinking, mug rugs. 🙂
Lots of Temu sewing things are very very reasonably priced.
Very true!
Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Just made my first order🤞🤞👏👏
Fabric short strips Mugrugs or coasters

Fabric short strips almost like the jolly bars. So many things to do with it.
Thanks, great ideas!😏
Thanks!

There is a coupon code in the description if you need one.
@@SewingAlchemy Thank you!

Their fabric is very poor quality, thin and the jelly rolls too short
Not sure about TEMU, I have purchased from them 1 time. I feel guilty about supporting China
