Default Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool

Hey folks.... I just have to ask... has anyone tried this specialty ruler and had success with it? It's the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool (here it is at Missouri Star: https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop...pple-trim-tool).

I've always been fascinated by pineapple blocks. I saw this tool demonstrated at my LQS and had to buy it... looked sooooo easy when they demo'd! I worked with it yesterday (almost all day long) and it was driving me to distraction! I went through half a jelly roll trying to get the blocks to come out right. My problem is with the corners... it seems to cut off either too much or not enough, which screws up the next row. I'm 99% sure it's "operator error" (LOL) but I'd love to hear from anyone who has used it too.

I have already watched a couple of YouTube video demonstrations (one by the original designer of the ruler and another by someone from a quilt shop). They make it look easy too.

I refuse to give up!!!!
