After seeing the slotted ruler on Quilt in a Day, I went ahead and got one at Joannes for around $11.
I used it finish cutting the borders forth baby quilt I'm making, and I love it!!! Im wondering though, it seems to be a "too good to be true" kind of thing. Is it? Or is it just that wonderful!? Lol

I have 2. Love them for accuracy!

It is just that wonderful :D:D:D

I love mine, I want the big one.:)

I love mine. No longer have the bend in the middle of the cut strips

Are you talking about the Shape Cut by June Taylor? If so I love mine. I don't know how I would get along without it. If your not - I would love to know what you are talking about.

I find that it works very well! Love it!

I love mine. I can't even start a quilt without it!

I purchased a machine that cuts strips, then purchased the ruler. I only use the rulers now LOVE them. BrendaK

Love mine too!

I use my smallest one almost constantly. It works great to square up pieced blocks. Not too good to be true in my opinion. I have now boughten other sizes too.

Love, love, love!

Tell me more. Tell me more. I don't know what this ruler looks like. I'm curious.

Hello, fellow Winston.

I have three of them - - 1/2" increments in both a 12" and 18" length and 1/4" in a 12" length. I love, love, love both 1/2" increment sizes. However, do not care so much for the 1/4" increment because you have to fold your fabric so many times for it to work. Don't know why June Tailor did not make it as wide as the 1/2" increment. They are particularly great for cutting multiples of strips if you don't have a die cutter.

KathDavis - you should do a Google search for June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler or go to this site for more information: http://www.junetailor.com/videos.htm

I only have one but I love it....

Love mine -- I have the 12" and the 18" with the 1/2" increments. Did not buy the one with the 1/4" for some reason they targeted that at making fleece fringe and did not think anyone would want the full width.

It really helps with the cutting.

Oh I'm so glad!! Lol. Yes I'm talking about the June Tailor one. Mine goes 1/2 increments and up to12 inches. I am so excited to cut now! Lol!

I think I have them all but I especially love the one that cuts 2 1/2 strips!

Wow! I have one of those rulers and have been using it all wrong. In fact, I gave up using it. Now that I have been enlightened, it will come out of the deep, dark corner of the closet I stored it in.

Thank you!

People in my quilt group are so amazed that I can cut 5 or 6 strips for binding in less than a minute....no cutting and moving the ruler....no calculation....just a good clean cut, quickly. I love mine.

the June Taylor slotted rulers, yes I have one, love it

picture of rulers and a videos to watch to learn how to use them properly

I love mine too! It's so handy!

I love mine so much that I won't look at patterns that don't call for fabric cut in 1/2" increments. I know I can cut 1/4"s, but not repeats.

I'm going to get one tomorrow. Can't wait! Thank you for the post!

OMG! I have two of them in my rack. I thought they were just for fringe. I can't wait to cut me some strips. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have one and I love it, always using it. :)

Thanks so much for the link to the videos, I have to have one of these rulers!! They are fantastic.

I have one of each and love them all! I use them constantly.

I have hand/cutting issues. This would not work for me in piecing as sometimes I tilt the rotary cutter a bit when I use these rulers. I do use it to cut strips to make fabric bowls, though.

Yes, they are just that wonderful!!!! Very accurate and make for fast strip and square cutting. I also have the Half Square Triangle ruler and LOVE it! I get perfectly accurate HST's! Can't say enough. If you don't have a slotted ruler, use your next Joann's coupon for it. It is money well spent. :thumbup:

Cool videos!! Apparently mine can do the 1/4 cuts too. Lol. I didn't know what that little line meant. Hahaha. And that was really cool how she did the octagons! Glad I love it, and super glad that this quilt board exists!!
:-D

Thanks to all & your great tips & insights. Being a newbie to the quilting world & lacking a lot of wonderful tools such as this...I feel the start of a christmas list. No more will I hear "don't know what to get you" I'll just pass the list. ;)
thanks to all

I love mine. The best ruler I've had.

Have the big I. I Loooove it.

I love love love mine. I have the 12" one and the one that will square up my 1/2 squares. I have just ordered the smaller one that will let me cut at 1/4" marks.

I first bought the Shape Cut (12" x 12") and loved it. Next I bought the Exact Eighths and the Half and Quarter Square and they are great. I use and Half and Quarter Square a lot just for trimming or marking, not just for 1/2 & 1/4 squares. I looked at the one with the 1/4" increments and decided not to get it because it is just too narrow. A few weeks ago, I got the Shape Cut Plus (12" x 18") and really love it. Walmart had the Shape Cut and Half & Quarter Square rulers on clearance, so I bought a spare of each.

You asked "is it just that wonderful?" My answer is a resounding, "YES!!!!!" I rarely use any other ruler.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen one of those. I'll have to keep my eyes open!! :thumbup:

Me too! I have the large June Tailor that cuts 2 1/2" strips. And I also have the smaller one with the slits every 1/2". I just wish that one was larger to fit the WOF. I figure I have cut enough jelly rolls and charm squares now to have paid for both of them. Definitely a wise purchase.

Wow thanks for these videos. I have one of the shape cut rulers. I could not figure out how to cut the shapes by their directions on the ruler. Now I have this saved in my favorites. I will use this as a reference.

Thanks for the link. I just watched the video and I think I need to go shopping!
