Yes.....the 2 1/2" strips are used a lot.That's the standard size of Jelly Roll strips.
I'm using the Go cutter, but as long as you cut accurately,with no fabric bowing,whatever works is fine.

Second question: are any of those "strip cutting" devuices any good - or better to get proficient with the rotary cutter and ruler.
Thanks.

I have considered buying pre-cuts, but have been put off, mainly because I'm a pre-washer and here they are expensive and wrapped so you can't "feel" the fabric (fussy devil aren't I!). I don't mind cutting, so I think I'll put together my own "rolls"...just need to refine my stash building skills.
