I like Connecting Thread fabrics and have ordered some of their precuts. So far no problem with their charms, but I the one jelly roll I ordered had several strips that were not true 2-1/2". I contacted them and told them that the mis-measured strips did not allow me to make the project I had bought them for. CT immediately credited my account the price of the jelly roll. Great customer service.

Just purchased 3 different charm packs from CT and love them. Unlike charms from JoAnn Fabrics, CT's charm packs all measured 5 inches square, making my disappearing 4 patch quilt go together quickly. I will definitely purchase more charm packs from Connecting Threads.

In my experience the cheaper the pre-cut the less accurate. The good makers are spot on. My worst experience was a cheap jelly roll and the stripes were worse than my first attempts at rotary cutting.

Mine too. Having bought over 50 Moda charm packs in the last few months, I'm very disappointed with the lack of consistency in the sizes of the squares and sometimes poor quality of the pinked edges.

Sometimes I'll have a perfect 40 in a pack and then a pack of the same variety will have some undersized squares.

I use Moda Charm packs often and haven't had a problem.

I have had no problems, other than one square once was too small, but it was an extra thrown in. The rest were perfect!

I have, over the years, ordered quite a few charm packs, mostly flannel, from CT and none were ever short.

It is my favorite place to order from. Love the prices.
The new catalog has a red line of fabrics that Ive got to order.
No problems with anything Ive ordered from them.
