    I agree with cathyvv. I love the strip dies and have several different sizes. I also use them a lot.

    I have the Go Big but I have never used the strip cutting die. I love the June Taylor rulers. For me, they are quick and accurate. I was looking at the price of the June Taylor 2 1/2" slots. I have had that ruler for years and have certainly gotten my money's worth. Another of her rulers that I use at least several times a week is the one with the 1/2" slots. Her ruler that has eights is a time saver when I have to cut blocks like 3 7/8". I love the dies for fancy shapes, but for straight lines, I'm a June Taylor fan.

    Aren't we lucky to have so many different tools to allow us to easily accomplish the same cutting task?

    I have Go strip cutters in 3", 2.5" and 1.5" and have used them all for various projects. I bought my Go second had and the dies came with it.

    I had not thought to use them on the bias, I will have to try that soon. I prefer bias bindings and was still cutting them by hand.

    Dies are $10 off now. Which really means free shipping for most. LOL I guess they think we are clueless.

    I'm in Canada so still have to pay shipping but there is a quilt shop here which offers roughly the same prices.
