Charms with no pinked edges?
 
I'm trying to find some charm packs of solids (mostly need white), and I can find Moda and Kona, but they have pinked edges and I really don't like those.

Any suggestions for a quality solid with regular edges?

Thanks!

People cut up solid charm packs and sell them on eBay. I buy mine from eBay. Very inexpensive. No pinking. Watch for how many pieces are in a pack...some only have 20. Lots have 40-44. They also sell hand cut precuts of all sorts at great bargains! Like jelly rolls, 2 1/2 charms, layer cakes, turnovers, etc.

They sell a pack of Moda Bella solids here with straight edges, but there is no white.
Perhaps a pack of solid colors and finding solid white by the yard for what you need...…

I see that they also have white on white layer cakes.
Looks like all of their fabric is straight cuts no pinking.

I love www.jordanfabrics.com! Their pre-cuts are done in their shop and have no pinked edges.

This was going to be my suggestion, although I've never bought precuts. I just see what they have on Donna Jordan's Utube videos.

I haven't bought the precuts before, but when I order fabric on-line I usually start out at equilter. They have several pages of things, the pictures don't show any pinking, here's the blender link.

I find them very fast and reliable and their prices even with shipping are better than my local shops. They are strict on their cutting -- when you order 1 yard that is EXACTLY what you get, not a quarter inch more. I did order one of their "scrap packs", those are the bolt ends, often ragged/sloped but was exactly what I needed for one of my quilts -- it was really fun to go through the package when it came.

Edit: On 2nd look and with my screen images larger, it looks like most are pinked :( sorry about that but maybe check out those scrap packs to cut down.

I'm going to have to spend more time on the jordan fabrics website. I really like what I just saw.

I must be the odd duck because I hate the precuts without the pinked edges. I just don't like the way it frays, I was watching Jenny's tutorial on Friday and when she unrolled the jelly roll with all those frayed edges I cringed. The pinked edges don't fray I love em.

I don't think this is accurate. I thought the same thing when I first read this question. I went to their site and looked through their posted precuts. Their pre-cuts appear to be the same commercial ones that everyone else sells.

From their videos, I got the impression they made their own pre-cuts. It appears I was mistaken. I think they do their pre-cuts only for their quilt kits.
