I have purchased many pre-cuts - I consider myself the pre-cut queen - I have never had any trouble with my pre-cuts - I only purchase Moda, Kaufman and Riley Blake pre-cuts - I am leary of the Walmart pre-cuts but have bought them in the past too. I like the convenience and having the whole collection - I always get compliments on how well I use color - so that is my secret - I use pre-cuts - all the fabrics coordinate. Also, I try to buy when I get a good deal - I have several sites I check and look for savings codes, etc - rarely do I pay full price
