The more I use pre-cuts, the more I love them. I generally buy them from M* because my LQS doesn't carry much of a selection of them.
My problem is this: I am good to buy a pre-cut like a jelly roll, and sometimes I'll even get a matching charm pack to expand my options but I never think to buy yardage. Since most of this is impulse purchasing and not for a specific project I don't ever know exactly what I'll need in yardage for things like backings, borders, and bindings.
What do you do when you buy precuts? Do you buy a set amount of matching yardage? Plan your projects better so you know what you'll need? Go to your LQS and try to find something that coordinates?
