I have the Go Strip dies and the June Tailor Shape cut ruler. I rarely use my Go! The June Tailor ruler is so much more convenient and it really gets a workout in my sewing room!!!

The June Taylor strip cutter I sometimes get the V in my strips, even when I fussy fold just right. I use it to cut wide widths just fine. I use my Go and have every size strip die for it. The easiest way for binding is to rip lengthwise. I like to buy the 108" backing and rip it into long strips. You'll get lots of strings ripping but those don't bother me.

I have been cutting strips to make binding using my ruler and rotary cutter. I know there has to be and easier, quicker, more precise way to cut these strips.....any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Maybe I am the odd one out here ......... when I have my fabric properly pressed and folded I can cut my binding quite quickly, and with precision, without any problems. So, perhaps explain where your problem is? |
I love my GO strip cutter. Wouldn't use anything else.

I have 3 different June Taylor strip cutters. Guess I am lucky. All of my strips are straight and the correct size. The June Taylor strip cutters have been a time saver for me. Hardly a day goes by that I am not using one of them. Even with a discount, they were expensive; but when I look at the time I save and the accuracy I achieve, those strip cutters have more than paid for themselves.

I'm another June Tailor fan. I have the strip cutter and a couple smaller ones. Also great for converting a pile of scraps into piece-able pieces!
