I have one that I got at Joanns about a year ago with a coupon and I must say it has made my life easier I just cannot cut with a regular rotary cutter I fold my fabric and cut through all the layers at one time. If you fold carefully it comes out right. I also use it to cut squares and they also come out great. It works exactly like a scrapbook paper cutter. In fact you may want to look in paper cutting supplies and buy a regular rotery paper cutter and devote it to cutting fabricassome of them have a bigger cutting area , For me it works easier that the shape cutter ruler
