I can cut ok, it's my sewing that gets screwy. I made yellow brick road blocks and I used the "shape cutter". It's a large square thing with 1/2" slots for cutting, it worked amazingly well. There is a smaller one with 1/4" slots too. I just stacked a couple layers of fabric, trimed and away I went. Depending on the width of the strip you can cut several before moving the ruler. Give it a try on old scraps.
