Thanks for this link - now I know what you all are talking about. The June Taylor "Shape Cut Ruler" looks like a great tool to add to my next purchase.

Love, love, love it!
I have 2.

Yes, they are great!

If you had to just buy one--which would it be?

I have used mine several times. They have also taught you how to fold your fabric to avoid the wave. I have not had a wave yet.

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

I have 2 and love them.

The one with 2 1/2" slots is my favorite. I also have the other 2 with 1/2" increments and love them.

I have one but like my Quilt Cut a lot better. I found that I ended up making wavey cuts.

Go back to the beginning and read all the pages, your questions should be answeted

No. I am talking about the Quilt Cut 2.

This thread is just too funny for me. I have the SHAPE CUT and the FRINGE CUT rulers and never really used them cuz I didn't know how. Today I watched the video's and have now dragged them out from behind a bookcase; I'm sure I bought them several years ago, this isn't the first time I have bought something and never used it. Thanks for the information.

Sorry, I don't know what the Quilt Cut 2 is either. I thought you were talking about the June Tailor. I apologize.

I LOVE mine I have 4 different kinds.

Why rulers with slots instead of just cutting along the edge of a "normal" ruler.

I just checked out the Quilt Cut 2; looks like it would be a lot more expensive than the June Tailor ones. I think I would like the June Tailor better, too many parts in the other.

You have more control over the fabric, because the whole ruler is holding down the fabric, and if you cut the first cut and then remove the scrap part, the rest will hold steady by the slot. You can cut more than one strip without moving the ruler, plus you can cut several layers without slippage, something I always have difficulty with with a regular ruler.

Can someone show a picture of the ruler? I haven't used one yet and would like to know more about them.

Just Google June Tailor ruler, or the Quilt Cut 2

I have 2 of the June Tailor Shape Cut rulers (the Pro and the Plus). I love using them because they save me so much time and my cuts are accurate.

although i balked at the price at the lqs, i brought and use often the 18" june tailor slotted ruler.

So, which June Tailor should I buy? I want to make jelly rolls--so many choices...I appreciate your response :)

Love mine for strip quilts!

For jelly rolls and 5" charm squares, definitely the big one. It will cut the WOF and at 2 1/2" intervals. You will find ways to use it besides just for jelly rolls. I also like the next smaller one with 1/2" slots. I got mine online but forgot where, maybe Nancysnotions on sale. Check around for the best deal, some places have free shipping after a certain amount spent. I have cut enough jelly roll strips to pay for it a couple times over. I paid $33 for the large one and that is about what you pay for a precut jelly roll.

I have the slot ruler and never knew how to use it. Watched several of her videos. Thanks, I'll start using it now.

Sounds like quite a few of us learned something new today

WHOO Hooo stopped at Joannes and they have all quilting rulers etc 50% off,. so got mine and will try it tonite.

I can't live without mine! Have two of the standard size with half inch slots. I also have a third one that I dropped and broke then salvaged with duct tape because its like throwing away an old friend! I still use it sometimes. LOL. I also have the 1/4 cut which I don't care for very much. Its just as easy to shift the standard over half a notch to cut 1/4 or 3/4 measurements, and it's not big enough for much of the stuff I make. Last week I treated myself to the large one and I'm like a kid of Xmas. The Shape Cuts are also invaluable for straightening blocks before setting them into rows, and for resizing HST,as well as cutting blocks or strips. Three things I can't live without... Coffee, chocolate and my Shape Cuts. :o)

Several years ago, my DH got me one for Christmas. THE best present I ever got from him.

It is heaven for squaring up blocks!

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 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'm afraid ti jinx myself, but thus far I have not, and I hope I don't because I wouldn't know what to do if I did!!

I have all the sizes and the circle cutter too I love them

Love, love, love it.

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

I bought one when they first fcme out. I really got in a mess when cutting 2-1/2" Somehow I got in the wrong slots a few times and really messeed up big time.
