Another thread got me wondering if pinked edges on charm squares are better than straight-cut edges... or if it makes any difference to you?

I like the pinked edges because they don't seem to ravel. I used charms from Connecting Threads and they did ravel a little, but I loved the feel of their fabric. So, I would say I prefer pinked edges over straight.

some people have complained about the pinked edges on on precut, but if you tend to prewash your fabrics it makes it tons better! they do not ravel/fray. the complaints come from people feeling they are being (shorted) but i bet if you take a charm cut straight, and a charm pinked, wash them both, the one pinked is going to come out larger, because it will not fray. you may need to use a scant 1/4" instead of a full 1/4".
