    I tried one and it didn't work so I returned it. Sounds like a good idea but I could never adjusted the way it was suppose to be and the fabric won't go in straight.

    I too have the June Tailor slotted rulers, and don't know what I did before I had them? Well yes I do, I spent a lot more time in cutting.

    I'm really looking for the 'right' sale/coupon/discount to get the largest one that is available I think it's like 24" wide .... somewhere in the $60-$70 range @ regular price.

    I use to have one, and also took mine back as they did not cut exactly the same width the entire strip. I being a newbie cut my strips faster and better.. so thats not saying much for the machine. lol We have a friend who is an excellent quilter, and works at Joann's. she does not like this machine either, but she does like the bias one lots.

    I have one of these, they are like everything new I have tryed there is a learning curve, the fabric should be starched and I had to learn th feed the fabric through strait, it does not feed the fabric through automaticaly, Just my 2 cents.

    I got both this and one of the other machines. I could not get this one to cut a straight strip which is the purpose and the other one wouldn't work either. I took both of them back to joann's and I haven't missed them since.

    I think a lot of us are drawn to new things - I know I am. I kept looking at this and just couldn't figure out how you could get straight cuts on it - the bed doesn't seem long enough to give you good support and guide. After reading here, think I'll just keep using my rotary and ruler. There will be more goodies out there. This board is so wonderful with its information.
