Precuts from Connecting Threads?
#1
I was wondering about the precut fabrics from Connecting Threads.
For those of you that have ordered them in the past, were you happy with the cuts? Are they fairly accurate/consistent? I'm mainly wondering about the charms and 2-1/2" strips.
Like everyone else, I love the new fabrics. I hope when I'm ready to buy there will be some left. :)

I've ordered Charms in the past, and found that cut accuracy was good but the variety of fabric didn't live up to my expectation. I found a lot of solid colors in the packs, and had to fill in with other print fabrics to achieve the look I wanted for my quilt project.

I thought it would be a good way to try out their new products. I haven't liked much of their fabric in the past. The quality is fine, I just didn't like the print assortments. I think they need more variety in scale or else they look to plain to me. But the Batiks and tonals would be good to mix in with my stash.

I ordered some of the christmas charms and they just arrived but look good to me. You do have to buy 2 to make up the amount of one..but it is still cheaper that way. I am anxious to get started on christmas projects.
