Thank you all so very much. You have saved me 2 trips to Walmart. I have 2 JT rulers and will just stick to them. I love them and get wonderful results and would recommend them to anyone. Glenda

Must have been in a spending mood. LOL

I agree. Bought one a year ago and it takes forever to set up and the cuts are difficult to keep straight. Took it right back. Rotary cutter is faster and more accurate for me. Ann

Will be interested in knowing how you like it. I have a June Tailor mat and love that. And it was cheaper than those strip cutters.

I bought one. Paid $79.99 plus shipping and I Hate it. You have to be so careful or you will wobble and your strip will be off. I'd much rather cut out with my rotary cutter.

I have one and really don't like it, but I thought maybe it was just me not getting the adjustments right. I put it up to play with later, when I have nothing better to do.
