I love mine.. I havent used it for cutting strips yet-although i have the dies- i forget I got them, and use my rotary cutter.. whoops ..lol.. However, I use my go mainly for leftover scraps- Im a scrappy kinda gal.. what ever scrap size I have I find a die to match.. then in goes in its sterilte see thru container for whenever I need to use it..
Each die cutout has its own drawer in a three tier/drawer container.. Ive got lot of them..so when a pattern calls for 6.5 squares I pull out that drawer... Works great for me.
