5" charm packs
#22
I just purchased several charm packs from Connecting threads in their after Christmas sale. Also FQs. The charms were a true 5" but did not have the serrated edge that Moda and other manufactures have. I don't have a problem with that, but thought I'd mention it. Two charms in one pack were creased, and when pressed ended up being slightly off square, but that was easily remedied. Since I paid less than $2.00 for each charm pack of 24, I was willing to accept a couple of wonky ones.

I have ordered several Moda charm packs from MSQC, and they are NOT a true 5". They can vary as much as almost 1/4". I got a little template that's supposed to work with the charm squares, and that was how I was aware it was not square. I still buy them if I like them, but use them knowing that they might not be accurate .

I have bought a few, I always measure them and have done a bit of squaring up, but not much. They are pretty darn close. I haven't had any problems with making my squares, I usually have to touch up the squaring after I piece a block.

I have only ever used 1 charm pack and 1 layer cake pack and whilst they were cut correctly I just find it "off putting" with the way they have the "pinking" along the sides. But I think that is just me.
It is certainly saves so much time with having them pre-cut.
