It'a amazing how many quilters have trouble cutting straight strips. Me included. All cutting methods are great to hear about, everyone has a favorite. Your set up will work great for my way of cutting strips and I have a Big Board. I cut strips from a single layer of fabric no V at all. I cut the fabric in half down the length and cut strip after strip across the width. No fussing about being line up at the fold. But it makes shorter strips which is okay by me as I use them shorter 99% of the time anyway. I prefer to use the Go die cut but it's not always the size I want.
