I am so glad someone brought this subject up. I had such trouble with how the fat quarters I bought several years ago were cut that gave up and I just made it a rule to never buy them again. No selvedges, cut wonky so that when you try to even them up you lose inches, serious unraveling when I pre-washed them.......to me just not worth it. Now that I know others have found similar problems I at least feel better about my decision. Thanks...... Annie Pearl!!
