I Love "The Cutting Gizmo"!! If you Chain Piece, This Is For You!!
I am usually not one to buy gadgets, gizmos, etc. but I did fall for this one and really love it. It is called "The Cutting Gizmo". I found it on ebay, it was also sold on Amazon at the time too, think I got it for about $12 including shipping. It just makes cutting chain-pieced fabrics a snap--it has an indentation on the top with a sharp razor blade in the middle and you just slide your chained pieces down on the top of it and it cuts the thread and you can separate long chains of 50 or more sections in nothing flat!

I'm glad it works for you, but since I'm not much on gadgets, here's where I get my "snips", http://www.mygoodscissors.com/ThreadNippers.htm. I also use them as seam rippers and a few other things, since I discovered these, I haven't used an actual seam ripper in over 10 years.

I love this little power tool ! I have one in my grab and go supplies and one in my sewing room. Funny, when guild members ask did you bring your chain piece cutter? I'd love to borrow it to get these pieces cut. And they are the same ones that pooh pooh every new quilting tool as a waste of money. It's safer then having the seam ripper sitting upright. Ouch!
