I tried inserting the cutter at the larger opening at the end of the ruler but I never achieved the smooth quick motion I've seen on YouTube and on Alex Anderson show (before she was cancelled). I bought it after seeing one of her guests use it. Maybe I'm too old to start something new LOL

I'm convinced!!! it must be me since everyone else seems to love it. Hey, I'm not too old to admit I MIGHT be wrong LOL
My ruler is the 12" June Taylor, HOWEVER,I'm using a straight Olfa cutter (had it forever, probably the first one they made). I have a couple of others, but I always seem to grab this one.
I refuse to be the only quilter who can't conquer a square piece of plastic. Gonna pull it out and practice, practice, practice - 'cause I do use a lot of strips LOL
Thanks ladies, God, I love this site.

To make it easier to insert my cutter, I just pull the slot open a bit, insert cutter, then let it go back to normal.
I also make sure I've got a finger on the part right beside where I'm cutting so it doesn't bow when I'm cutting.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this ruller.

Incidently, I see where there is one that has 2 1/2" slits -- does anyone have that one?
