So glad that you voiced this...I have sworn off charm packs for this reason...how much time am I saving if I'm futzin' with the quarter inch seam...and if I have to trim down to get a straight edge, then I've lost time and fabric.

About the Gingher pinking shears...you might try having them adjusted by a pro...my regular shears were always very tight, very sharp, but very tight and rather difficult to use for any length of time. After taking them in to have the slightest burr removed, they are easy, easy, easy to open and close...the pro took it upon himself to adjust them...I'm ever so glad that he did!
