About 5 years ago, I was taking a quilt class at my guild and it required a lot of strips. I saw someone using the June Taylor and voiced my decision to buy one. One of the girls in the class said "I have one at home...I never use it....do you want it"...I did, she gave it to me for free and I've used it on every quilt I've made since....it's wonderful.

I have 2 different styles of the June Tailor tools. I love them & have used them for strip cutting, cutting bias, & also fringe on fleece or rag quilts. Nancy zieman has a short video on cutting the fleece using this tool, which was faster then how I used to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSLBVCCuv6s.
Another review of these tools, where she suggests the best rotary cutter was the Fiskars 28mm for success with the slots. http://www.quiltersreview.com/articl...t/010709_a.asp
I forgot to mention you DO really need to be cutting straight upright not leaning off to one side with your rotary blade.

June Taylor also markets a smaller one that has slots for 1/4"
cuts along eith the whole and ½" measurements.
I often use it for the subcuts once I have a strip cut. Makes it easier than working with the larger shape cut.

With all the positive remark about the JT cutting tool. I better get me one too. Sounds like it is one of those tools you need to be a good quilter (faster) and more accurate.
Thanks for all the comments. It sure helps when you are wondering if its worth the $.
