I'm the same way...always multi-tasking.

I've seen them advertised but figured getting the fabric through straight would be an issue. It doesn't bother me to cut strips using a mat, ruler and cutter. Seems like the fastest way to go for me.

Did you read the 7 reviews of it? All bad! good detail on WHY it doesn't work.

I believe tools like that are for rug makers. They do not provide enough accuracy for quilters.

That's what I like about Amazon. They seem to have reviews on most everything, but you'd think after reading the reviews they wouldn't even offer this for sale!

Thanks Ladies. I think I am going to pass on it. Who knows it may make me so mad I might throw it out an unopened window...haha

Looks like a lot of people didn't like it.

I would not buy it.

I read the 7 reviews and they all said it was terrible. I would take their opinion and not buy this thing, read the reviews and figure it out. As for sitting and watching TV with DH, I would suggest you do some hand sewing. I appliqued 24 Dresden Plates for a year while watching TV. You can also learn how to hand piece, you could piece a whole quilt in 6 months.

I saw it used for rug hooking
