I bought one and returned it. I hated it! There was no way to keep the fabric straight, and I couldnt cut straight strips.

These work best if you either Best Press or starch your fabric first. Then the cuts are true and straight.

i have one and while it does cut the fabric fine, I had problems getting the fabric to feed thru straight. maybe it's one of those things that you have to do enough to get the hang of it.

This gets really bad reviews from quilters. It does not cut with sufficient accuracy. It is probably great for someone who cuts up fabrics to make rugs, where accuracy isn't such a big deal.

I would take it back without even trying it.

I bought one and was so excited to use it. Well, it didn't work at all. So I took it back and got my money back.

I have this machine, strip cutter and the bias maker. To me this one wasn't worth the money. I had a problem keeping the strips uniform, especially the bias strips. The straight strips were a bit easier, but you don't make bias tape with straight strips. I cut my strips on my Go cutter, then run them through the bias maker, much more precise strip cuts.

I got one when they first came out , took it back the next day. The cutting was not very precise.

This machine is not much good. You can cut the stripe straight enough for quilts. It can be used for making rugs. However the blade did not last long. I would not buy it.
