I guess I'll see how it goes today. I have a bolt of black fabric from an estate sale, so that should be good to experiment with.

I have the 2 1/2" strip cutter and it's great. Gives me great accurate strips.

I love my strip cutters...I just added the 1 1/2" at 40% off at Joann's. It is harder but I love having straight strips. It is really much faster and more accurate. I say it is a "keeper"!

I just got a Go Baby and tried the 2.5" strip cutter tonight for the first time after seeing this thread. The first time through felt awkward but the strips were fine. Did a few more and it just got easier. This was using some unpressed fabric across the grain. I never had much trouble rotary cutting strips, but this is FUN with the cutter! :-)

I'm glad you are all liking the strip dies. I have been wanting one; but every time Joann's has theirs on sale, they don't have any and anytime I've seen them; they are quite pricey--more so than the regular square or hst dies and such. I have the Go Baby. Can anyone tell me where a good place to get the strip dies at a decent price? Thanks!

Krysti, if you actually go to the Go! site and write a bunch of reviews you'll get credits that you can use toward a purchase. And if you purchase something very small there, you will be sent a survey and that is worth a LOT of credits. It cuts down the cost of dies considerably.

Krystyna, thank you so much for letting me know that! Off to write some reviews lol

You' re most welcome! I just checked my account and you get 100 points for signing up and soon they will send you a survey and you get 500 points for filling that out. You also get 10 rewards points for each review! They add up ... so just wait until they have a sale and ... BIG savings!

Wow - so they are buying good reviews. Pretty tricky way to do it. Nice to know.

Not that I don't believe others aren't doing it too. Getting so it is hard to rely on reviews for products anymore.

I guess you could leave a bad review ...
