I rip b/c I cannot cut straight strips to save my soul. I do try to use the good stuff for that, mainly for sashing and borders. But to me, its the only way to go! :-)

And you have to admit, there is something about the sound that is empowering. Try to time it when someone is bending over and you will see how quickly they check themselves

Ripping is o k with me if I am not concerned about how it comes out. But, with good fabric and wanting a good looking quilt I depend on my mat, ruler, and rotary cutter. It may take a little longer but for me it is worth it.

hu, I guess I find that surprising. You can't tell one bit of difference between the fabric I ripped and the fabric I rotary cut, and certainly not once it was all quilted up.
