Have one and it is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. No more rulers for me. Spend hours cutting all sizes of strips great for scrappy quilts extra :thumbup:

Yes, and they do work great. So go ahead and
invest your money in one. Think you will really
like it. Its also handy if you make those fleece
blankets for cutting the strips on edge of blanket.

I have the ShapeCut and the ShapeCut Too and love them. I would like to have one that's wider than the 12". Only way I can get straight cuts. Be sure and trim the edge so they really are straight. >^..^<

I have the shape plus ruler and have had it for a long time and I love it however, I don't have the instruction sheet that shows how to cut in smaller increments and have looked all over the internet for the instructions... Can anybody sent me a copy of the instructions... I would really appreciate it...

Thanks in advance

I have a hard time cutting even strips and squares even when I use a ruler. My eyes tend to skip between those tiny lines, and often my strips and squares are somewhere between 1/16 and 1/4th off every single time. I get it all laid out, and they just don't perfectly line up. I get so frustrated. I use a rotary cutter, a cutting mat and a nice Fons and Porter ruler. So I was looking online for some solutions, and I'm interested in this June Tailor Shape Cut Slotted Ruler. Does anyone else use these? Do they help the straight-lined challenged folks like myself, or are they a waste of money?
I love mine and it makes cutting so much easier for those of us that are a bit challengedJ!! Jo Anns sells them and I used my 40% off coupon
Thanks!

The slotted ruler should work great for fat quarters too. You can stack them up and do a few at the same time.

I use the slotted rulers a lot and love them. It would be a good purchase for you
