I am a satisfied customer of CT and will buy from them again.

I love CT. Their charm packs are great at a good price. But, I also bought a 2-1/2" strip set and that was not good. There were at least a half dozen strips that were wonky or V-shaped. I emailed CT to advise them that I was not happy about having to alter the pattern I used the strips on because the strips were not to size. CT did the right thing by crediting my account. I think you need to be careful on any precuts. I've even had trouble with some FQs that weren't! But I continue buying them anyway. Glutton for punishment?
