It was a Fiskars and it is 6 1/2" wide x 30" long. I am not at home where it is but I am postive about the width and almost postive about the length. I have had mine for several years and the envy at my quilt guild. I use it more than any other ruler or cutter. It may seem awkward to some, but I find it to be so handy for even the smallest pieces. I bought mine at Wal-Mart years ago.

If you will google "Fiskars 12" rotary Trimmer you should find several places that sell them. Try crafts shops, Target scrap book/crafts dept. They used to be about $45. or so. I have found it works good only is your fabric is starched real good. And I have only been able to cut 2 to 4 pieces at time, depends on the fabric, but I could be doing something wrong. Since I got the Accuquilt Go, I hardly use it for fabric. But, I do use it for paper and you can purchases 10 different cutting blades. I really like the Perforating blade to do tops of towels if I'm going to crochet on them, makes the stitching holes even.

Eleanor Burns sells rulers and patterns. Go to her web site and see. She also has a TV program. If you have Direct TV, search for programs by keyword, quilting.

I got mine at a wallmart on sale years ago. It is 24 inches. You might try there or contact Fiskars

I looked everywhere nd was told the same story, but was lucky enough to find one on a garage sale. I love it!!. I'm surprised they discontinued it since it seems to work so well

The one you suggest is smaller than what we've been talking about.
