Quilters Select Rotary cutters and Rulers
I was wondering if anyone has tried these products. I am especially interested in the rotary cutters. I am wondering what makes them so special as they are very pricey.

If have not tried the rotory cutter but I really like the rulers. That backing is surprising...it is frosted but not thick, and it really works!
I had a chance to be a tester for her batting. As an art quilter and crafter, as opposed to a traditional quilter (that was why I was chosen) they were interested in their products being advertised towards not only quilter but also to crafters. I used almost all the batting and stabilizers and found most to be exceptional. Yes, I did do a "traditional" pieced quilt and I really like the water activated "sticky" batting...no basting...spritz the adhesive with water and smooth the quilt top, flip and do the back. It took me a while to get the rhythm and amount of water, but it was wonderful! But, as with many things I like, I think they are gazing out this product.

A quilt shop I visited has the selection of Quilter's Select products. I was interested in one of the rulers and the shop owner piped up and said the rulers only work to hold the fabric to turn on the Quilter's Select mat. I put the ruler back and said Oh I don't like the color of those mats so I guess I won't be buying the ruler.

I have the rulers and the mat - you do not need that mat to use the rulers, I actually prefer my green Olfa mat but I LOVE those rulers - worth every penny! I have not tried the rotary cutter.
