My hubby bought me a present today. It is the 24 inch Fiskars ruler/cutter combo. He found it on clearance for $22.00. He thought I needed another toy.
Has anyone used it? I looked up reviews on the internet and it looks promising. I guess I will have to start another project just to try it. :lol:

Isn't that a great tool? I haven't found anything better for making strips. Quick, easy, accurate.

Too bad Fiskars discontinued it. If you like it and have any extra "mad" money, I'd send him back for another one. They originally retailed for $60, and they're almost impossible to find now.

I have one, have used it quite a bit, especially when I want to be sure my rows are straight. It gives a lot of "coverage" so things don't move.

Good buy too! I got mine a few years ago at $29.95 and have seen them much higher priced.

I have one also and I like it. I put little sandpaper dots in the corners to help keep it from moving on me. And I like that the blade has that big cover and is attached. Less chance of cutting ones finger.

Yes, please do post a pic. I haven't seen one either. Anything quilt related on clearance makes me "gotta have it." What a steal of a deal and what a sweet husband to be thinking of you like that. :)
