June Taylor Creative Cut Ruler is the best thing since sliced bread for multiple cuts.

I love to cut but there are a few "tricks" to cutting fabric accurately. Make sure to press and perhaps starch your fabric lightly before starting (some fabrics just seem to like to slip more than others). Place it on your board with the fold at the bottom and straight along the bottom line of your board. Then trim off the crooked bit on the left before you begin cutting strips. I use an O'Lipfa ruler with the lip edge that grips my board to discourage slipping. I also have the little rubbery stick on clear plastic circles on my ruller to further grip my fabric. Hold your ruler firmly with your left hand and move that hand up your ruler as you cut your strip. Lean your body a little as you cut away from you to try and stay "on top" of your strip. Try to hold your rotary cutter staight up and down and use a firm grip and pressure. I've seen a lot of inaccurate cuts because of holding your cutter at an angle and not gripping the cutter properly or using enough pressure. Always check your alignment of fabric every couple of strips to make sure it hasn't slipped. I'm always the "cutter" for our group and I hope these tips help.

I agree - realign after cutting several strips. It frustrates me how I can be so careful and be "off" by 1/8" or so after 3 or 4 cuts.

Personally, I cut my strips lengthwise with the grain and have a whole lot less "wonky" strips. I love my June Tailor Shape Cut.

I glued little bits of sandpaper I cut out with a paper punch to my rulers to help them from slipping. Helps alot.

I use the Shape Cut to square up blocks too. I will get wonky cuts every now and then using it to cut strips but it's better then a regular ruler. I do have the Go and it is worth every cent.

Come to think of it, I have one too. Guess I'd better go find it!! :)
