Some kits include precut fabrics and with appliqué pieces, the fusible web is already ironed on for you, so you are ready to start sewing. The fabrics have been precision die cut. For the appliqué pieces, you just remove the paper backing and press them onto your quilt block. All of the fabric to create the quilt top is included, including the borders and binding. The only things that are not included are the batting and backing.
