Since having several bad experiences with pre-cuts, FQs, strips and 5-inch squares, I won't be buying any more, either. Besides, I like to pre-wash any fabric that comes into my home and I can't with pre-cuts. It's such a shame that we, as the customer, have to buy extra (and here at $18-22/metre is gets expensive) in order to get just the correct amount we need for a project after straightening.
