I do love using my AccuQuilt GO! and dies, very much. But, for typical strip cutting I find the June Tailor ruler to be faster & more efficient than the GO! strip dies. But, it is funny, as I find that I wouldn't use the June Tailor ruler when cutting up bits of scraps, yet I love using the GO! Strip die to cut up scraps that would typically get tossed. It is so easy to layer pieces of scraps, stacking them on top of each other and down the row of the strip die and ending up with very usable pieces. I can then slice them into pieces for blocks (e.g. 5", 6", 8") or easily stitch them into long strips to make a Jelly Roll Race Quilt.
