    I have the Go Strip dies and the June Tailor Shape cut ruler. I rarely use my Go! The June Tailor ruler is so much more convenient and it really gets a workout in my sewing room!!!

    The June Taylor strip cutter I sometimes get the V in my strips, even when I fussy fold just right. I use it to cut wide widths just fine. I use my Go and have every size strip die for it. The easiest way for binding is to rip lengthwise. I like to buy the 108" backing and rip it into long strips. You'll get lots of strings ripping but those don't bother me.

    What is the problem you are having in doing it this way?

    Maybe I am the odd one out here ......... when I have my fabric properly pressed and folded I can cut my binding quite quickly, and with precision, without any problems. So, perhaps explain where your problem is?

    I love my GO strip cutter. Wouldn't use anything else.

    I have 3 different June Taylor strip cutters. Guess I am lucky. All of my strips are straight and the correct size. The June Taylor strip cutters have been a time saver for me. Hardly a day goes by that I am not using one of them. Even with a discount, they were expensive; but when I look at the time I save and the accuracy I achieve, those strip cutters have more than paid for themselves.

    When pressing I match my selvedges as closely as possible. I use the fold edge to square up my fabric. Then fold again, carefully matching the cut (squared) edge. I also square up again after several cuts.

    I'm another June Tailor fan. I have the strip cutter and a couple smaller ones. Also great for converting a pile of scraps into piece-able pieces!
