I buy and use charm packs and other precuts all the time I have never had a problem with it being the wrong size. I absolutely love the pinked edges better than all the frayed edges. I just don't understand why quilters dislike them, why use them then?

Absolutely do not cut off the pinked edge.!!!!! And when you sew your 1/4" seam, sew from the outside points as mdegenhart has already stated. I love precuts and have a boat load that I love so much that I hate to use them������. It's great thst beginners )and those further along the quilting patch) ask questions. I've been in the quilting world since the age of dinosaurs���� and just learned something new this past week when working on a stained glass pattern.
