Quarter Cut Ruler
#1
I went to Joann's yesterday for their sale and bought a June Tailor Quarter Cut ruler. It has slits in the plastic each 1/4" to make your cuts more accurate. Has anyone used one of these? I got a good price on it (50% off, then 10% more off) but I don't want to take the plastic off of it if it's something I won't use.
I'd appreciate any comments on this ruler.
Thanks!
Sue

If you are careful when you fold your fabric you can tape off the same amount across your ruler and cut strips without moving the fabric or the ruler.

Don't put a lot of pressure on any one strip of plastic, they will break. I've had mine for quite awhile though and it hasn't.

I have the June Tailor slotted rulers that cuts 1", 1/2" & 1/4" and use them all the time. You just have to be sure that the fabric is folded straight(as with any cutting) so you don't get the curves on the fold.

Thanks everyone! You have convinced me to keep it. I'm just too darn frugal! It's not at all that I can't afford it - I just want to be sure it's something I'll use. You have all convinced me to take the plastic off of it and try it! Thanks. There is always great advice on these boards!
