The June Taylor are the greatest. I have two and wouldn't even attempt any more to cut strips without one or the other. My largest is the 12X12. Can't go wrong.

It is amazing how fast your cutting is with this ruler. I mostly use it after I have cut and sewn strips, and then need to subcut.

I agree. Get the biggest you can afford! They are wonderful and because the slits are small, there is no problem with uniformity. My LQS recommended them, but told me to get them from Joann's with a coupon as they can be expensive.

I definitely recommend them and have 2. They are used everytime I cut anything. Not only strips, but turn the strips around to make squares, triangles, etc.

You won't regret it, believe me!

Are we talking about the sasme ruler? I have a June Tailor Shape Cut that's 12 inches square. It has slits every half inch. Once I learned to cut I never used this ruler again.
I really don't like it. What am I missing?

Thanks for this tip !!! :D
