I LOVE my Stripology ruler.
I like to make my cuts fast with this ruler so I have to mark the slots with a piece of tape just to make sure I'm cutting in the correct slots. Yeah, ask me how many times I've accidentally cut in the wrong slot!

I use it constantly. I cut a lot of scraps. Very accurate, doesn't slip, the slots are not wobbly like the June Taylor. I used the June Taylor for years and bought this last year. One of my most used tools.

I don't have this tool, but I have researched it.


The only shapes you can cut are squares and rectangles.
It does has the angled lines to cut other shapes.

Oops. Thanks for the clarification. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to what
that ruler can do.

I have the Shape Cut, but want the Stripology ruler. I love that it has the 1/4" markings as well.

:wave: EasyPeezy-I took your name off the quote, wanting to be not-in-your-face. :) Thanks for not being annoyed.

Hmmm, maybe I should think about getting the stripology ruler. I pretty much totally tank with the June Taylor. I have notched some of the entry points, making it difficult to start. I wobble pretty badly, too. So, the stripology is more stable? Sounds very intriguing!

Yes, I did. thank you for clarifying. I also own the June Taylor 1/4 inch slot one and the longer one but nearly always use the shorter one. The stripology one sounds like fun too.

LOVE Stripology (and CG rulers in general). Works so much better for me than my June Taylor Shape Cut.

I have a June Tailor Shape Cut Pro that I used once and decided that it would probably make a better frisbee than what it was meant for. It slipped something awful, not to mention the wobbly slots that someone else talked about. It left me with a pile of crooked strips...so frustrating. :(

I would love to get a Stripology ruler but with Christmas right around the corner, I just can't afford it. I decided to see if I could fix the June Tailor ruler to make it work better by putting Nexcare tape around the edges on the back and thin strips of tape between the slots.

So far, it seems to work a little too well, because now the fabric sticks to the bottom of the ruler! :shock: (I can pick the ruler up and the fabric actually stays there!) BUT, I think I'm headed in the right direction because it absolutely doesn't slip now and I can cut some beautifully straight strips. I think I need to take some of the tape off and figure out just how much I need on there to make it work right.

So if anybody else has one of these rulers that they're not using because of the slippage problem, you might want to try this. Just don't completely cover the back with tape! :p

I use mine a lot and really like it.
