This bit about getting accurate cuts from precuts is not quite true. Too many times have I and others I know found them to be off by nearly 1/4 inch which can lead to serious problems when sewing together the whole quilt. Supposedly, precuts are becoming more accurate. I don't think I will be buying them. Rots of Ruck! Happy quilting.
I have yet to have a problem with any Moda precuts, but I HAVE with other Manuf. that were short or cut very crookedly ... watch out for Hoffman's Bali strips & Benartex charm pks
