Hi Sally,

Don’t try to trim them! That would be way too much work and would make your precuts the wrong size. Here’s some advice I got from the Quilting Board forum:

“Place the straight cut pieces on the bottom with the pinked edge pieces on top- with the pinked points just barely (a thread or two shy) of the edge of the straight edge- then use the straight edge to line up your 1/4″ seam allowance.”

If you’re sewing together two precuts with pinked edges, I would measure the 1/4″ seam from the outer points of the pinking.

Hope that helps! Christine

They all have saw-tooth edges and I find them more difficult to sew a 1/4″ seam on. Do I just cut them off? or what?

The no-slip strips are a great idea. We’ll have to try that on our Shape cut. I like the size of the cutting slits on the Shape Cut much better than the Stripology ruler. Wish the plastic was better quality, though.
