Ruler with cutter attached
 

Was looking at the rulers that had the cutters attached - Fiskars, Haskals, Nancy's etc
has anyone used them and what did you think?
I really think this might help me but haven't seen one in action.
thanks

I bought one from Eleanor Burns place - sure can't get it to work right. Gave up, too busy to mess with it now. I was really disappointed!!!.

Do you mean it would help you cut strips? If you haven't tried a June Tailor Shape Cut mat, I would suggest that first. I had a cutter like this for paper and was unimpressed; think I would be even less impressed with fabric.

p.s. I have seen people recommend it for children, though, as it is quite safe -- especially compared to regular rotary cutters.

I have had my Friskars for a number of years and love it for the safety of it. When I taught a quilting class last winter that was what I put out at the cutting table. No ER visits!!!!

I have an older Fiskars rolling ruler and I love it. Because I have arthritis in my hands it is difficult for me to cut several layers of fabric at once using a rotary cutter or scissors. However, using my rolling ruler, I do not have this problem. At the last quilt show I attended one of the vendors had a demo using the new ruler and it was very impressive.

I have the fiskars and really like it.

I have the fiskars and really like it. it had a scoring blade on it when I bought it. I told fiskers and they sent me the five blade magnetic pac Go fiskars

Thank you everyone for your imput. Will have to check you tube and see if there are any so I could see if there are differences.

While shop hopping for the row by row, quite a few shops used them to cut the fabric.

Try looking at the TruCut rulers and rotary cutters at http://www.graceframe.com. The rotary cutter rides on a ridge on the ruler. It has improved our cutting accuracy 100%. No wobbling of the rotary cutter makes a difference. I also put their brand of stickers on the bottom of my rulers. They really help hold them in place. I have just had to learn to pick up the ruler and place it, instead of sliding it like I did before

I have the truecut ruler but for me, it's too hard to see through it to measure. The ruler is slightly cloudy plus there are holes all over that make it difficult to pinpoint the lines easily.

I love my Fiskars...I use it when I have to cut long strips...I also use a Gypsy Gripper on top of it so that helps to stabilize it further.

I have the Fiskars and use it daily. When you get to the top you have to use extra pressure or it doesn't cut. Even if I miss it leaves a crease so it is an easy fix. I love mine.

I had one and took it back for refund. I bought a June Taylor Shape Cut and love it.

I have the Fiskars and used to use it a lot. As my arthritis got worse I changed to an Alto's Quilt Cut2. It is more practical as it will adjust to a variety of angles. It also holds down the fabric so I don't have to press down as hard as it felt I had to do with the Fiskars.

thank you AliKat - I had not heard of the QuiltCut2 - what a great system. Will have this one on my Christmas list :)

It works great at the fabric store, however I found it extremely difficult to use at home. Just couldn't get use to it and it became so frustrating I never use it anymore.
