Okay, I'll bite...what is that, where can you get it, and how much?

Saw it at michaels today for regular price of $13.99 with a 40% coupon from today's paper, that's a steal!!!

That is the one I have. Absolutely love it.

I never thought to use one for squaring up. Good idea! I use it all the time for other things, though.

If it is the June Tailor Shape Cut ruler, it is the real thing and a great tool to have. I use mine anytime I need to cut strips. First one I got was the 12", then I got the 1/4" one, and now I have the 18" one. Love them all.

I've looked at the shapecut video and am impressed. I didn't know you could cut shapes with it. But will i still get the dreaded wave?

I use the large Shape Cut Plus and have to fold my fabric twice. (so there are 4 layers) When I make the second fold I iron it so all the fabric layers are really even. At times I will still get the dreaded wave but it is never so bad as with using a regular ruler. At least this is my experience. Anyone else get perfect cuts without the wave everytime??

I really like the idea of this ruler but have a question... I've read on the boards here and a few blogs that it's best to use the same brand of rulers through the entire project to guarantee the same accurate measurements from start to finish. Will using this ruler for strip piecing at the beginning throw off the entire project if you own a different brand of rulers?

I would love to fix my problem of wavy strips! That's my biggest frustration in quilting right now, my inability to cut straight strips. lol
