I did not like the Simplicity and returned it (very wonky results). I have a BIG SHOT (from my scrapbooking days) - much cheaper than the Accuquilt system and there are some inexpensive dies for cutting fabric strips. But I haven't purchased them yet! That's because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the June Tailor Shape Cut Plus ruler for doing strips - PERFECT every time. Very fast & easy & like I said, very accurate.
