    Thanks all! I'll probably give their charm packs a try. I don't think I'll use Moda's again. It's made my current project less than fun.

    I've bought strips, charms, and 10" squares from CT and out of all of those only ONE single charm square was mis-cut; the corner got folded over somehow before cutting so I had to trim off some excess fabric. I haven't bought a TON of each, but I've been very happy with everything I've gotten so far.

    Interesting that sometimes they pink their pre-cuts; all of mine have been straight cut which is what I prefer.

    I have only used RK charms and I found it difficult since the edges are pinked !!

    I buy lots of charm packs, yardage, and fat quarter packs from Connecting Threads. They are always cut well and the fabrics are nice quality. CT is my favorite online seller.

    I have used CT charm packs and find they are cut accurately. Just don't starch or steam iron them before you sew them together - they will shrink up to a 1/4". Ask me how I know!

    I've only purchased yardage from CT and was very happy with it - I've never purchased charms or strips from any line ever! Now that I know about how CT does their pricing I'll most likely try them out! Thanks for all the posts.

    CT has the best pricing around for their pre-cuts. Just watch the quantity per pack as it varies based upon the number of fabrics in the medley. That being said when you calculate the price they NEVER CHARGE TO CUT. The amount of fabric you receive in a pack always equals the per yard price. I buy from them all the time!!!!!

    My Connecting Threads charm packs are perfect. I love them. I guess I have bought about 8 charm packs in the last few years.
