    Moda is the only way to go for me.

    My LQS that carries charms only stocks Moda. I would try others if I could find them.

    I've only ever seen Moda. Local Mennonite shop had their annual 15% off sale last week, part of my purchase was 4 charm packs (two Antique Fair and two Kansas Troubles Perennials) that were $5.61 each (normally $6.60 each).

    The problem is now I have NO idea what to do with them!

    The new charm packs from Moda don't have the big pinked edge like some used to - I don't buy (I think) Bernartex. There is one brand that is NOT a good 5" charm size .. I mixed them in a D9P and had mismatched seams.
    I also buy Marcus as I collect Ci^il W@r repros, and they have some really nice ones.
    I just used Moda FRESH FLOWERS charm pack and part of a jellyroll.. so pretty! Also just got the Lilac one, but it's kind of boring after the brights in the Fresh Flowers!

    I forgot who said they didn't know what to do with the new charm packs just purchased! But I just used my Fresh Flowers Charm pack in the Dimensional Bow Tie block - being called the 10 Minute Block today .. that center piece is sewn into the seams .. takes more than 10 minutes too!
    It's pinned for quilting - that is batting not border showing on the edges!

    Moda! they are my weakness - I have a whole drawerful of them - some I have 2 or 3 of the same pack. But I love them and I love using them for quilts.

    Moda is my Fav :) They have the finest pinked edges (unlike other manuf. who still have large pinked edges) I've never had a problem using Moda precuts, unlike some other brands I've had.
