I agree with Boston1954. I have enough fabric to cut my own strips. Sometimes, I don't like to be restricted by the color palette of the precut. I am a scrappy kind of gal.

I want to know, too. Why does it get worse when you starch?

It is easy to cut precut shapes with the Go. No pinking edges, all straight edges.

I am very lax when it comes to perfection - but why would it matter if a doll's quilt is a little bit bigger or smaller? Or
are we talking about the principle of not getting what you expect when you order something?

We bought 12" wide fiberboard for shelving and it turned out to be 11.5" wide. What's going on????

I have used some of the leftovers from when RK cuts their charms and find with the pinked edge to be slightly larger so I always trim to make sure of the size.

ANd much less expensive in the long run. my experience yardage is less expensive and I can cut my own. Have not been happy with any online orders of precuts. Most usually too small/narrow/short, etc.

It shrinks. And sometimes it gets a little distorted.

Thanks for answering. I suppose that could happen. I usually don't starch until I have something sewn together and only if it needs to be really flat for accurate trimming.

It's not that it would be bigger or smaller but the blocks wouldn't be square and for the pattern I'm using, I need them square. I could have trimmed them but then the piecing of the block would look wonky. It's for a gift so I want it to look good.

Just measure the size first and work out the math from that is my motto. Just wish we could get plain pre -cuts here as it gets a bit tedious to cut from the metre with this sort of project.
