Love it for strips, but even more for 2 1/2 squares. Cut, turn the ruler and cut again. Instant large quantity of squares.

I have four sizes and use them all. Hatge to cut without one.

I love mine...I bought my first one 17 yrs ago...just bought a new one recently because I got it on sale 1/2 off to have when my other wears out...its my favorite quilting tool
|
Ok so i must have done something wrong when i used it. I bought one last year and the blades just wouldn't slide right in the slots, so got frustrated and returned it. Any advise of what i did wrong or what i should do would be really appreciated.
Thanks all. |
If I'm pressing hard on the ruler to hold it in place, the slots seem tight. I just go to the edge where it has a wider opening and bring the ruler through from there.

I do like cutting strips with mine & got it at Walmart years ago. Nancy Zieman has a tutorial on her website too; watch there. As for avoiding the "Vee" at the fold, that is caused by not having your fabric folded on straight of grain first. It's not really an issue with the ruler, unless you are cutting fabric in the teardrop area. I have the long model & so the fabric starts & ends in the straight section, with only one fold on the WOF. |
Sorry...my question was already answered.
