slotted cutting mat
#11
I found some some clamps at Harbor Freight and I use those on my circle slot ruler. I clamp the ruler & fabric to my cutting board in 2 places. They hold really well and I make all of my cuts perfectly.

Are you sure it isn't a ruler that is slotted, called the Shape Cutter? You'd lay the fabric on a cutting mat, put the ruler on top and run your cutter up the slot?
Has anyone else had trouble with the slots becoming nicked and impossible or should I say impassible? to use.

I saw it on Fons and Porter a couple weeks ago. They maked where they wanted to cut, then just ran the rotary cutter down the slit. It looked pretty easy. My quess is that you have to have a pretty sharp cutter.

I have one and I love it for cutting strips. It is quick to cut several strips. On,y draw back is that you have to add correctly when adcancing. eg- When cutting 3.5 in strips need to advance 7, 10.5 ets. Sounds silly but I have missed cut several times if not careful.
