Warning!! Precuts are the rage right now, but beware. The accuracy is inconsistent. I needed lots of 10" squares in a variety of prints so I ordered a packet. When I went to starch one before cutting because bias strips are involved, I found the square one quarter inch short in one direction and one quarter long in the other. Had I not checked, the final product would have been wonky and I would have blamed my cutting. jobaby

very good advice, thank you

I wash and iron them also. They shrink too. Thank you for the reminder to check and make no assumptions.

Thank you. I never thought to measure my pre-cuts.

If you sew a lot and always looking for bargains,it pays to keep a small retractable tape measure in your purse./Lillian

I always carry 2 tape measures in my handbag! Love Chris

I have learned(the hard way) that all precuts are not created equal!!!Wish someone had given me a heads up ;like you have done.

the same goes for charm squares, I've gotten a few that are "off"
