If you watch one of their videos, they do cut strips, leave the cut pieced undisturbed, then turn the ruler to cut squares, triangles & diamonds, so I guess this is why they call it a shape cutter. I just cut strips.

LOL, I've wondered the same thing for years about this ruler!

I like my one with 1/2" slots. I'm not sure I'd get my money's worth with a 2 1/2" slot. I have the 1/4", too, but find it a little busy. I fold my fabric again after pressing it so I'm working with a little over 10". I do not precut anything. I don't care if 5 yards is hanging off the cutting table as long as the fabric on the board and under the ruler is straight.

I love my june taylor! I have the 1\2‘‘ on and the 1\8‘‘ one but dont use it as much but i cant cut a straight line so for me its perfect! Have used it to cut other shapes, nothing elaborate but it workd! With they would put the anti-slip dots on them though! Hate when they shift ewhen your cutting n you cant stop! I used mu first one so much it broke! Lol

Can someone tell me the difference in the two rulers that are described as both being 20 x 23" except the price? One is $51.99 and the other is $96.78. They both say the slots are 2-1/2" apart,

I want one that's tall enough to cut across folded WOF.

I love my June Taylor Shape Cut Pro and use it several times a week. Although it was expensive, I have certainly gotten my money's worth. I make lots of quick quilts using pre cuts. I often cut my own jelly rolls, charm squares, and layer cakes with that ruler. I have the instructions for cutting shapes like triangles; but have never tried it. Cutting with the June Taylor ruler makes cutting so much faster and I know what I cut will be accurate. I have 2 other June Taylor rulers. One cuts 1/2" which I use frequently. If I need to cut 3" squares, I use slivers of blue painter's tape to mark every 3" on that ruler. My third ruler cuts eighths. When I have to cut 3/8" or 7/8" squares, etc. that ruler is a life saver. I am a huge fan of June Taylor rulers!

Did you notice on the more expensive one, it looks like the WalMart site, but says "sold and shipped from "Stuff4u" or something like that. Aparently, somone is trying to make money at your expense!! Upon further looking, they don't have a very good rating, either. 75% is all. I wonder how they are able to make it look like you are buying from WalMart!! I don't like being deceived.
