Mine is labelled 'The Gypsy Gizmo' (who I believe was the original creator of this). Website here.

Can you live without it? Yes. Will it replace scissors? No.

I really like mine, but then I love to try new things and am open to ideas that save me time (at my age, life is all too short, lol).

When I chain-pieced a confetti quilt recently it saved me a lot of time - by not having to stop and pick up snips or scissors or fumble with the machine side cutter, invariably dropping pieces on the floor or worse - down the side of the machine, lol.

Like Onebyone, several women at my class dismissed it (without even trying it) but now ask if I have it with me. Think the message here is - don't knock 'til you've tried it?
