Totally eliminates the "V" cut as fabric can be cut on the single off-the-bolt fold. These rulers are the ones I use the most. |
This is one of my favorite rulers and I use it all the time.

I love mine. Don't cut strips without it. I do agree with lindasidlow about truing up the edges every so often just to make sure.
|
I found mine at a garage sale years ago and it was a while before I used it. I think I paid $3.00 dollars for it. One of my best buys, it's great for those strips.

The Shape Cut is one of the best things since sliced bread. LOL

After years of cut, move, cut, move...watch ruler slip-I found out about these rulers on a forum like this. I went and bought one and have never looked back! You true up one side and take off from there. I can cut strips like mad and in no time have all I need. I'm going to take my scrap stash and iron all of them flat, stack them and go to work with this ruler. What a fabulous tool this is. Have them all sizes but small.

I got mine after the last post about these I think last month. Went to walmarts and yep they had one left on the clearance rack and I snaged it up $11 went home and tried it out and man what a gem I cut for a square that I am having problems with and sewed it up and it was right on, I have been having problems cutting stright No more with this gem I love it................. So glad it came up as a topic I was getting ready to throw in the towel. Just goes to show you what a great site this is.....................
