I was so disappointed in it. It would not cut all the way thru the layers. I tried two, four and six layers and it was the same. When I tried to take the blocks off the pulled strings and made run lines. Also had rough edges, not clean like with rotary blade. I took some of the blocks with me, she looked at them and returned my money. No hassle about trying a new one.

I have one and don't have any of these problems. It is a bad die you got. Have you tried another die?. I did have a bad 5" squares die that gave me the same problems but not the others. I have had my go for few months now and i love it, but i admit you have to get used to it at first and now i am and actually depend on it a lot of times.

Gee, that's too bad. I have one, and I really love mine. I use it to make perfect border cuts. I agree with the lady who said you have a bad die. Too bad you already returned it.

I bought mine from the yahoo group "sewitsforsale." It was very lightly used before I purchased it.

For triangles, applique, or odd shapes, you can't beat it. I cut a tumbler quilt in no time at all (the smaller tumbler die); no dogears and every cut was perfect. Same thing with triangles - no marking, aiming, etc.

Now the June Taylor Shape Cut - that doesn't do a thing for me. How lucky are we that there are so many different options!
