I have 3 of them but use the 1/2 and 2 1/2 ones more! They are great! I also have the GO but actually prefer to use the June Taylor to cut strips.

Can anyone post pictures of how you use it? I've seen it and got confused just looking at it.

Oh I love the fabric on the right! Is that the same one as the strips? Are they Bleeding Hearts?? Gorgeous!

Are you making a traditional block, or will you make a curved one? What width are your strips???

I have a lot of questions, huh? :lol:

They probably make a bigger one but I don't know. I wanted to see how I liked this one and I love it.

But there is a line for a 1/4" add-on. Suppose you want to cut 2 1/4" width. Line up the edge of your fabric on the "dashed" line to the right (or left) of the "0" slit then cut at 2".

Dakotamaid, what a good idea! Thanks

Funny, everyone wants a bigger one but I want a smaller one!

Kitsie, you are right! I was so excited that I left out some details lol

I'm not sure how I will position the strips yet. I want it to look like yours! lol
I cut 2 inch strips- hope they aren't too narrow. What do you think??
Thanks for looking!

I have this ruler and love it. One tip for those who want to get one, if you are like me, not exactly a mathematical genius, get some small colored dots from the office supply section of a store. Stick them on the ruler where you want to make cuts just to make sure you cut the right sized strips or blocks. For example, if you are cutting 2 1/2" strips, put a dot at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 etc. You can reuse the dots or just use new ones each time. They are very inexpensive and save on cutting errors.
