If so, continue on with what you're doing--contacting Moda, etc.<br /><br />Otherwise (and this is what I'd do), I would steam that sucker back into a 10" square shape, cut it and be on my way. I took a class from a big name quilter one year and was working on plaids. She saw how we were all fretting about grainlines and design of the plaid and finally pulled us all together and said, "Some lines can be off-grain. It gives the quilt more energy!" I told this to a friend and she wanted to see the quilt. I knew where all the multiple skitty-wampus lines were and she could only find one of them. And only after studying the quilt.<br /><br />As far as the shrinkage in size goes, that's a horse of a whole other color. Can you make it work? I hate to give up on cutting out a quilt, especially when I have that get-up-and-go feeling about diving into it.<br /><br />Since Moda is pushing these pre-cuts pretty hard, I do think it good that you informed them of the troubles. I have a few precuts in my closet (first time I've purchased them, frankly) and you can bet after reading your post, I'm pulling them all out and checking them. Thanks for the warning, and caution.<br /><br />Elizabeth E.<br />occasionalpiece.wordpress.comLetterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123194807952454068.post-45730394809188409292011-11-10T22:20:17.966-06:002011-11-10T22:20:17.966-06:00oh NO!
