I noticed that several people use the Go for cutting 2.5 inch strips. I watched a Accu-quilt demo for cutting strips and I could cut the strips faster using a June Tailor Shape Cut ruler. Much less expensive, and very accurate. The demo showed the person having to use 2 rulers to square up the fabric, then tranferring the fabric to the cutter and then getting the strips. Using a Shape Cut ruler, I put the ruler on the fabric,use the 0 slot to square up the fabric and then cut the strips. Very Fast!
