Aren't we lucky to have so many different tools to allow us to easily accomplish the same cutting task?
I have Go strip cutters in 3", 2.5" and 1.5" and have used them all for various projects. I bought my Go second had and the dies came with it.
I had not thought to use them on the bias, I will have to try that soon. I prefer bias bindings and was still cutting them by hand.
