    If I have to use a scissors, I just won't make the quilt. One of the best gadgets that I have come across for cutting strips and subcutting the strips is the June Taylor Shape Cut Plus. It makes a sometimes tedious job very easy. My first one was 12 inches long - gave that one to my DIL because I bought one that is 18 inches long. Love it.

I wanted to try it out so I got the cheaper of the two, which ends up being even cheaper because of my lovely Wal-Mart discount card. Its working nicely so far. Perhaps my only gripe with it might be it not being ergonimcally designed so probably once I do some serious cutting of fabric my hands will hurt (as I tend to overdo things and should probably start buying things that are less of a strain on my body).
    Harbor Freight is a tool store in my area but u can go online and see what they sell, when I moved here I was supprised to see an actual store, Usually u only see em online
