I agree with you completely! That is why I purchased yardage for my 2nd Wintersweet quilt. Those points on the precuts NEVER line up true to anything unless you trim them; easier to cut your own 2-1/2" strips. I actually purchased a jelly roll or white fabric (Moda) and the strips were ALL crooked and wonky, not straight. Lately, I have been using a zig-zag rotary cutting blade to ever so slightly trim my sewn pieces to keep the from fraying; no more loose threads. It actually cuts a slightly round scallop, not points; however, you have to be really careful to just barely trim the edges. Since I make really large quilts, I get tired of trimming frayed threads.
