I think this is a great concept...if it works. Has anyone tried them?

I heard that the concept was good but in reality falls short.

I've seen this on Nancy Notions,however I've never tried it.
The reviews I've read were not favorable

I was told by a LQS owner that if you don't cut perfectly straight up and down with your rotary cutter that it can cause issues (like dulling your blade, etc).

I probably won't get one as I have a tendency to cut at a very, very small angle.

I'm waiting to see if it actually works or if it's one of those useless quilting notions that pop up every once in a while. If it works,then great! It'd sure save money on blades.

I really can't remember where I saw this. It was just recently though. I don't get quilting magazines and don't often go to the quilt store so I am wracking my brain trying to remember. It's that age thing, sorry.

Don't waste your money. Everyone that goes to the quilt shop and classes I go to say the same thing.
