Default I have a question about those charm packs, jelly rolls, etc.

I just watched a video from Jenny Doan, MSQC, using a charm pack. And I want to know, how do you know where to sew 1/4" from the edge? Do you measure from the inside of the zig-zag or the outside of the zig-zag? I bought one of those packs once but because the edges were zig-zagged, I cut them all to have a straight edge to measure my 1/4" from. That took tons of time and I knew there must be a better answer to that. But I wanted my points to match up perfectly.... old habits are hard to break, I guess. I'm sure the edge is cut that way to eliminate fraying but I've avoided those ever since. Some are darling so I guess I have to show my ignorance and ask.
