Thanks so much for the review of Temu fabrics! I've been reluctant to buy fabric from them. Definitely going to get that roller! Thanks again. I've been a Christian since I was 28 and am 76 now. He's been my rock through some tough times.
God bless you, Nana! Jesus is my constant companion here on this mountain. I am so thankful he put me here. I wouldn't waste money on Temu fabrics. For a little more money and a lot more quality you can support a Christian quilting store, Sew Yeah Quilting. They have great prices and fun TH-cam sales.
Hi. I'm in London UK. New to quilting since July. I buy lots for my quilting from Temu, tools, rulers etc and fabrics. Lovely pretty fabrics and never had any of them smell. Waiting on my latest order to arrive any day and looking forward to it 😊
I'm glad you like it, Deborah! I feel there are certain things they offer that are just fine but the lack of quality for many items is there. The seam ripper was thin and bent, the fabric was poly, but I get many things from them that the quality is fine.
I must tell anyone who buys fabric from Temu use this method. I only buy the fabric pieces that are 19.69 x 19.69 inches. I only buy the 100 percent cotton. I get the 8 pieces or 7,piece packages. And its very soft and beautiful. The prices are from 10 to 12 dollars for one of those 7 or 8 piece fat quarter packages. I use them in many quilted items.. very good quality
Jan. 24, 2024.I am reviewing past videos of yours I have not seen yet. Thank you for showing us what you bought. I always enjoy these videos from quilters. Oooh oooh ! What did you get? What fun. Those quilting clips can be very expensive. I see on your list that they are reasonably priced. I hope they work well for you. I use little dolly clothes pins. After our deep freeze it was 50 degrees today. I had a window opened for awhile. Take care Melissa! Marion in Oregon.
Hi Marion, Thanks for watching! It is a glorious 62º here on the mountain today. I am overall very disappointed with the temu purchase. I don't like their business practices. The quality of products is all over the board. One thing is awesome, the next is garbage. That seam roller is amazing! I have some of those tiny clothes pins. I just love them! God bless!
I just got my temu order today and got a few jelly rolls. I guess even though the strips are short they will be OK for a quilt as you go table runner or some pot ,mits
Yes, Black Cat, you can use those fabrics for all sorts of free form projects. If you question if the fabric is entirely cotton I'd avoid projects that will be exposed to high heat. They could get crunchy or melt. I'm not thrilled with Temu but they have appeal in some things. Like that seam roller! I love that thing!
I love your quilt tutorials, and especially love your potato chip quilts! I made 2 of them and that’s just a start!❤️ Happy New Year and God bless you.😊
Thanks for trying Temu out for us. I don't think I'm going to purchase from them after seeing what you have been sent as well as having heard some pretty horrible things from my hubby who works in IT about them. He has said that in general they aren't safe to be giving info to. I am sorry you got so many repeats of fabric and your jelly roll is cut so awful. As always praying for you. 🙏❤️
Oh I am well aware of their tactics, Amber. Both hubby and I are/were in IT. Sanjay is in Information Security so we know what can happen. I had to tell folks about the app as part of my agreement but I wouldn't install it. Other than the seam roller and the quilting clips, I'm not happy with the order at all and am glad I didn't pay for it. I told them that I would not lie and that I would give an honest review. I'd much rather buy fabric again from that Indian Etsy shop. That is some nice fabric and I'm supporting a small business too. Thanks for watching, darlin. I keep you on my daily prayers.🥰😍✝️
This was a sponsored video, Sunflower. I didn't pay for the items. If I had paid for them I would have tried to return them. But, I suspect they would just refund the money and tell me to keep/toss out the items because, Like Amazon, the items are not worth the expense of returning. I mean, if it was the only fabric I could get my hands on, I would use them for charity/pet quilts or stuffing, or practice blocks. They weren't like burlap or cardboard, just not the quality of fabric I'm used to. I may still use those poly solids though. I can't get such a big pile of different solid colors here without getting a mortgage.... Thanks for watching.
I agree. I won't install the app but some folks don't have computers so I guess they have no choice. Some folks might also have "burner" phones with nothing on them and put the app on those. Thanks for watching, Vera!
Just wondering… Now that 3 months has passed, would/could you do an updated video of the items from your haul. What you made, if item only last 1 use. Thanks
I use the heavy duty seam roller all the time. The quilt clips are also useful. The other tools were pretty horrible and I've not really used the fabrics yet. I will use the cottons, but probably not any of the poly. There isn't really anything else to mention. I don't like Temu or their business practices. Thanks for watching, Lucy!
Hi Lottie! Thanks for watching. I will probably use it for practice pieces or maybe some charity quilts. I won't buy it again, that is for sure, but, yes, I do buy things from Temu. With this economy and being retired, we can't pay thrice the price on Amazon when Temu has the same items. If I want "exotic" fabric I will buy again from that lovely Indian Etsy shop. I can't get enough of those fabrics!
Get you a plastic or a wooden chopsticks and sharpen it with a pencil sharpener and it will work great as a push her thing through the sewer machine. Also, one lady uses her seam ripper and it works great. I have the chopsticks.
Yes, Pam, that is a great idea! I have some chop sticks. I do use my seam ripper right now but am always worried about hitting that seam ripper with the needle. Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry. I dictated that to you and apparently it doesn’t know what a pusher thing is nor does it know what a sewing machine is Siri doesn’t that is.😂😂
@@pamsury3969 Darlin, don't be sorry! You gave me a great tip. I had heard about that a long time ago but completely forgot about it. Siri drives me bonkers. She never knows what I am saying but she completely knows what my husband, with his mild Indian accent, is saying! Thanks again, Pam! 🥰🥰
I would if I could, Vicky, but the descriptions and the actual packaging did not match. I ordered what was supposedly cotton and saw varying descriptions for what ended up all being the same fabrics. The Japanese fabrics WERE all cotton and quite nice. Maybe stick to those? Thanks for watching.
I just got some camo fabric too and I was very disappointed in the I didn't like it up to like seeing my I didn't like it up to like seeing my hand on it on the other side I mean I could actually see the color of my hand Materia Material Material material
I have sent an email to the rep asking that they check the code. I will modify the pinned comment if she changes the code. I'm very sorry, Pauline. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching, Pam. I hope you find some value in all those items. I have to say, I love their finger nail supplies and that seam roller is amazing. But I was very disappointed with the fabrics. I'll stick with the Indian fabric from that lady on Etsy.
I said this to someone else but I LOVE that seam roller and I like many of their finger nail supplies but yes, much of what they sell is worse than dollar tree. We have to stand firm as a nation that we want quality products, not crap.
@@70acres I finally did get to order a few things. I didn’t get any of the fabric, I am doing “no buy fabric for September”. I can’t wait to get my order. Thank you for sharing your Temu haul.
I agree, Jean. I had purchased a bunch of Kaffe fat quarter bundles and they were not cut straight or to the correct size. Free Spirit actually sent me a new box replacing all of them. I was so mad! Thanks for watching, Jean.
Hi there! I love your channel. I just wanted to warn you that this company isn’t a good company to order from. They’re known for selling counterfeit and illegal items. Imo all the stuff comes from sweatshops. Please be careful :(
Hi Sarah, thanks so much for watching. I am aware of the reputation. I just wanted to try them on some quilting items. I have purchased items for manicures from them before without issue. It is a shame that they don't try to improve. They seem to pray on American's desires for cheap stuff.
even if you didn't get paid for this review, beware of "unsavory labor practices" of Temu - th-cam.com/video/tg3_-fSdFXs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G16VLiW132PUm6E4
I bought a dress and they sent the wrong one and refunded the money immediately and told me to keep it. Just a warning, their jelly rolls are only half the length not WOF
That is what I am hearing. This wasn't even half and was cut crooked. I really find it disgusting that they sell such garbage even they don't want it back.
From different showings of Temu items on you tube it seems that are many items that are not as described. I think that I will stay away from ordering from there. I know it is "cheaper" but i would rather not buy items that are what is advertised.
I find that notions are usually a good deal. That seam roller is amazing! The quilt clips are the same ones you'd get on Amazon and they work just fine. Same with the seam ripper. I also like many of their items for doing nails. The decorative elements for manicures are the same as on Amazon. Their clothing, from what I hear, is garbage. This nation has to get back to demanding quality items and not buying cheap junk because it is cheap. Thanks for watching, Jo-Anne!
What I learned from my experience with Temu: 1) If you want pure cotton fabrics, just scroll through all their pictures for one product, and somewhere you see written “100% cotton”, sometimes they write “Hugh quality cotton”. Those are more expensive but they are indead very nice cottons. 2) their jelly rolls don’t correspond with our jelly roll sizes. So, don’t combine theirs and ours in the same quilt unless you really count for the differences in size. For example, use theirs on vertical positions and our on horizontal position. 3) if you plan to order all the fabric for a quilt from them, make sure to order ALL what you need at once. If you run short on something you might not find exactly the same fabric, the colors may differ or prints differ. It happened to me. The colors looked the same on pictures but in reality we’re different shades and even some prints were different.
I did like the Japanese fabrics I got, they were just cut so crooked. If I order fabric from them again, I'll remember your tips. Thanks for watching, Gigi
It's difficult to watch this video, there is so much explanation and stop start that I find it frustrating... I was interested in your video but just got so frustrated that I moved on well before the end
I really would not get involved with Temu, they have ulterior motives as indeed Tik Tok does. They want to get your details so that they can get into them for ulterior motives. Most of their accessories are also crap.
@wendyrowland7787 I buy from Temu every month. I have loved every item I have bought. Nothing is crap. And nothing has happened to me or my account. I don't believe all the malarkey that's on the internet. THATS what's crap

Women’s facial shavers are amazing for ripping seams. So fast and easy. I then use a sticky roller to remove all the little bits of cotton

Simply give it a gentlepull on the cross grain ( edge to edge) and if it has give it's cotton. Poly has no give at all.
