I'm very new here, so hope this is right place to post.

Every so often I'll get a wonky elbow in strips I cut.Might cut 6
& 2-3 will be off kilter.Seems to happen no matter how I try to be careful
pressing & starching 1st.

DD loves a quilt pic from this site & want to make it for a Xmas or BD gift.
Looks to be a 4patch inside a frame,using Moda
jellyroll & border fabric.I was dreading cutting the strips & have yet to even choose fabric or find the pattern.

Someone mentioned a Accucut ,so looked into that.Just can't justify the price, as you need to buy extras for it.Then another poster talked about a June Taylor Creative Cut Ruler .Light bulb moment......do I have one of those in my bought & never used gadgets? Yes,I do & finally after at least 3-4 yrs,I opened it, read directions & bingo! I cut 2 strips that are perfectly straight.

Thanks so much to that poster! I'm cutting straight strips without buying another whatever.It's fast & easy.Better go see what else is in that never used box. Pat Ce
