Love it
I just received an email from Nancy's Notions this morning. The main item showcased is a ruler/cutter combined. It's 27'1/2" long so you can cut WOF strips, and it can cut 6 layers at once! Has anyone used this?? Looks sensational and gets great reviews! Sort of reminds me of the Quilt Cut 2 w/o the heavy board..just the ruler. I will be interested to see if anyone has used this and what your impression was.

I received one of these for Christmas and just recently tried it out. At first I thought I loved it but then realized my strips were not straight but kind of bowed. I kept trying but finally gave up and went back to my ruler and rotary cutter. I'll probably give it another try when I have time and fabric I don't mind wasting.

I've had the old Fiskars for years and love it. I even have a friend drive up from MA to ME to spend time quilting and using that ruler. It was off the market for a few years so her DH bought her one for Christmas as soon as it became available again.

I read a great tip on keeping your strips from cutting 'wonky'.. starch your fabric before cutting strips, it will help stabilize your fabric for cutting. Read this on the Quilters Slidelock website.
