I purchased the guidelines last year....tried them a couple of times and realized that I didn't like them. Now they sit in a drawer.

Love Love the grip strips,have them on all my rulers. |
I do not have these but I do have a set from pmquilting.com.
Bought them at a quilt show and I do really like them. There is a learning curve with them and I had to go sit in on a demo again here this summer to familiarize myself again but they are nice and handy. |
The ad says they cut 200 squares in two hours. I can cut that many without that ruler; just a plain ruler. And in less than two hours. I prepare both ends of the fabric folded in half, layer them nice and straight, maybe pin that a few inches in, and cut about 4 strips from that end, but don't move them. Let them lay as they are cut. Pull the uncut fabric away a little, then put the ruler the other way and cut 16 squares with one cut. Four strips of four layers.
With 42 in. fabric, you get 10 squares from a strip, times 4 equals 40 squares with that set. If you did five strips you would have your 200 squares by doing this four times. Half an hour! |
Thanks to everyone who commented. I think I am going to pass on these rulers.

Used the smaller 1 for a class quilt because the pieces were so small and so many. Basically the only reason to use it for me.
Do like their Grip Strips for my older rulers. My arthritis is worsening and I need help keeping the rulers in place. [Have found the QS rulers the best for me. But, not going to change all my rulers out. Just get 2 new basics.] |

I bought a product that I think was called “Bright Line” that I just stick on the back of my own ruler to make measuring and cutting much faster for me, it can be repositioned, and it works on any of my rulers. Less money on rulers means more money for fabric. Win-win.

As long as I want my squares with 1" or 1/2" measurements, I can cut many quickly with the June Tailor Shape cut. 1/4", like 2 1/4" take longer. Fold the fabric, make strips, turn the ruler 45 degrees, cut, and that's it.

I have heard very good comments about them, I bought them, I did not like them, I literately threw them in my trash and the trash man took them to the landfill, I had taken them to guilt meeting first, and no one wanted them. I hate to run any product down, but they did not work for me.
