I have difficulties with "traditional" cutting as well, and I've found for now with work schedule and limited sewing time that precuts are the way to go. greenfairyquilts.com has bulk jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc for reasonable prices. I've been very happy with their service. One of these days I might get myself an electric cutter but I don't have a sewing room so I'm not sure how I'd store it.
