Perhaps with practice I could master it... Meanwhile, it sits propped behind my cutting table. for 10 years. lol...
Oh yeah--don't know what it is called, but it is my "go-to" tool whenever I need to cut strips--they are always straight! Dig that thing out and give it another try! :thumbup:
I bought one and the first time I used it, I cut wrong. Need to be more mindful of the measurements. :hunf:
I use this item to cut strips all the time and absolutely love it. I have made a miss cut on a few occasions due to not paying attention, but then I have been known to do that with a regular ruler.
