That's the same one I referenced upthread, but at a UK stockist. ;-)

I just looked. That is so nice.

I was checking to see if the shop had put up the ruler/cutter as I wanted to post the link ere. It wasn't but I noticed this other ruler on their site which I don't think I've seen before.

Seems like a less expensive option for those that have a hard time cutting straight with a rotary cutter along the side of the ruler.
With this ruler, it looks like the blade (while totally separate) can only travel in the groove.

NAYY but thought it might be of interest/use to someone else:

That one has been discontinued. Why a company would discontinue a really helpful product like that is beyond me :thumbdown: Many of us have problem cutting a straight line :oops: and some of us (like me) have to cut fabric sitting down :-( and so to have a ruler like this would be a Godsend. A really poor decision to discontinue this item as far as I am concerned.

There is a 27" one from SewEasy that's made in Australia (the links below are for reference/pictures only - read more after):

Select that and then click on the little picture to give you a better idea.
Here's another picture of it:

The Quilt Place in Rockledge Florida sells this same item.
I've asked them numerous times to put it on their website because so many people ask about the Fiskars. They were holding off because they didn't have boxes for shipping it - it's very long.

I just called and spoke to Maureen. She says they'll have it up in a few days on the website. The cost is $49.99 plus shipping.

Here's the link to the store if you want to order online (keep checking).

or you can call and order it over the phone.

I saw it when I visited the shop a few months ago.
It's a huge, busy shop, and all the ladies were using it at all the cutting tables.
It was very cool so we all bought one. I brought it home and put it in a safe place to use when I cleaned up my sewing tables.
I'll let you know how it's working whenever I find it again. :roll:

Hey, time to celebrate! This is just like the one Fiskars discontinued. I went to the site, but it isn't being advertised as yet. Will continue to visit the site to check. I am excited. Will definitely buy one when it comes online!

I might take a look at his. Very interesting. :)

Ooooh, a new tool :lol: I can't resist!
