I recently opened a Hoffman Bali Pop, and was very disappointed to find that the strips were anything but straight! I laid them out on my cutting grid which showed the glaring imperfections, took a picture and emailed Hoffman Fabrics. I have used many of their bali pops and never had a problem before. Sadly, they have not even acknowledge my email. I am thinking that I will find it hard to purchase any more of their fabrics, let alone precuts. A simple "sorry, you encountered a problem" would have saved them a customer!
