Spiffy,
We used a Shape Cut for a class I took. The teacher suggested we buy these small sandpaper dots to apply to the ruler around the edges to keep it anchored to the fabric. Works like a charm!! The Joann's here has a few of them. I have the fat one and the longer one for cutting strips. When you have over 2,000 pieces to cut for a quilt, they really, REALLY come in handy! BTW, I love your piano quilt in your avatar. Best wishes! |
It is funny that you mention this tool. I have had one for years and never used it. Now that you have rated it, I think it is coming out of it's hiding place.
Thanks bunches, |
Me too. I've had this ruler and have yet to use. Watched the video and am amazed at the ease of use.
I'm digging it out now!!! Purchased it at Hancock when it was 50% off. |
Joann's has them listed at $63.99. Even at 50% off that is a lot. I will cut them the regular way thank you.
|
I think it is a June Taylor tool.

I've seen it as a June Taylor product.

It was a large sheet with slots 2 1/2 inches apart. You could cut accurate 2 1/2 in strips in just seconds with this ruler, template, cutting tool or whatever it's called. It looked like the measurements were 24x24. I found something similar on the Quilt in Day website: http://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponlin...lay.asp?i=1884 but I know what Eleanor used was larger because she folded her fabric in half and was able to cut the entire length of fabric and it was also square. While I was looking I also found this great resource: http://www.softexpressions.com/softw...ndexRulers.php I hope someone knows where to find this because it would certainly save a lot of time while ensuring accuracy. Thanks for any help you can give me. |
