    Stripology ruler

    Is anyone familiar with this ruler? I have the June Taylor ruler, but its pretty beat up after about 20 years of use. This ruler seems pricey, but looks like something I would get a lot of use from. Any pros or cons out there? TIA

    Never heard of it. I'll be watching this thread with interest to see what it does.

    I saw a demo of this ruler. It's great and does so much more then the Shape Cut. I use my Go for most of my cuts so I didn't buy it. Here is a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=554fnInkoBo
    I love my life!

    Wow, I just watched the video (Thank you OnebyOne) and it looks like a great ruler! I use my shape cut fairly often but when I'm ready for a change I will for sure keep this in mind!

    Thanks for telling us about this ruler. I like using Creative Grids and this one looks very useful!

    Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    i watched the video, too. it's kind of pricey [$55], as mentioned. i'm going to wait to see if i get any gift cards for the holidays. i have the shapecut, too, but the cutting slots bend when cutting... i'm hoping this one is better because of the non-slip material on the back.

    I love the Shape Cut, but I, too, find that the strips tend to move in the cutting. So I just place my left hand closer to the place I'm cutting being careful not to go too close -- perhaps a strip or two further from the cutting line.

    Thanks for the video.
    One step at a time, always forward.

    Thanks for the video.
    I noticed that she placed her hand on the strip right next to where she was cutting. Every time she did, I cringed. I figure that this ruler has the same problem as the June Taylor ruler. That is the reason I stopped using my June Taylor strip cutter. I'll just keep doing it my way.
    Have a blessed day.

    I was thinking the same thing. I learned the hard way by slicing the tip of my finger while using my June Taylor ruler - now I try to make myself wear a glove.
