The June Tailor shape cut ruler? mat? The plastic thingy with slots for your rotary cutter. My friend thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread. I'm glad I bought mine on sale because I have used it twice. The first time I miss cut so many strips that I had to change the pattern. The second time I guess I got too much speed going because I almost slit thru the plastic edge. I usually use a ruler and a piece of masking tape (and a role of masking tape costs a whole pile less than that June Tailor thingy)

I am interested in getting a rotating mat. I will check out the Martelli one. What was the other one you mentioned? I don't want to get a worthless one in the name of saving a couple bucks. 😊

I bought one (binder tool) too, and always had to look at the directions to use it...admittedly I am left/right challenged. I've heard some use it as a template for quilt pieces, i.e. pioneer braid strips.

The pressing stick, I think it's called The Strip Stick, is the item I spent money on and never used. It's sitting in a drawer somewhere.

Sharon, I ordered some see-through containers the other day. I must get better organized. And my room seems to be shrinking haha. Maybe better organization will help.
