I have had the large 18" June Tailor slot rulers for over a year and I absolutely love it. Now if I do use the regular rulers they seem to take so much time to cut. For me the price was well worth it.

I have one and have used it with success, however, sometimes my blocks are larger than the plastic thing can take.
|
I have the ruler also, I love it, its so slick to use. Its so much easier than a regular ruler, now there I have the slippage. But this June Taylor is great. Love it, in fact have bought one for all my quilty, sewing friends for Christmas gifts. Once you get the hang of it, you too will love it, its so easy.

A mat is what you put your fabric on to cut using a ruler.
The June Taylor slot cutter is a ruler not a mat. I use mine a lot. I also use it to square up a block. |

I put sand paper dots on the back of mine so that it doesn't slip or slide while cutting works great. The first time I saw this was on elenor burns quilt in a day. bought one and been using it ever since. I mark the slots every 2 1/2 inches with pink tape, and just cut away. Or whaterever width your using. LOVE IT! :)

So many ideas, and happy I asked these wonderful ladies how to use it.

I like them so much that I have bought every variation I could find, including the super large one. |

I have one of these. It is nice for making strips, since I didn't have to keep moving the ruler.
