So far, I have been collecting pre- cuts. 5" charms to be exact. I fell in love with the fabric lines and it was a good way to get just a bit of the entire line. Its a small collection. About ten or fifteen packs just waiting for the right patterns. (Mostly Moda charms.) I am thankful for my go cutter. I can always straighten (somewhat) if i have to or go smaller. I will keep in mind the patterns and add in tone on tones in case the charms are not the correct size. I'm mostly a scrap quilter. So, I can pretty much make it work if i have to.
