The second time I guess I got too much speed going because I almost slit thru the plastic edge. I usually use a ruler and a piece of masking tape (and a role of masking tape costs a whole pile less than that June Tailor thingy)

I bought one (binder tool) too, and always had to look at the directions to use it...admittedly I am left/right challenged. I've heard some use it as a template for quilt pieces, i.e. pioneer braid strips.

The pressing stick, I think it's called The Strip Stick, is the item I spent money on and never used. It's sitting in a drawer somewhere.
