I just ordered the June Taylor 12x18 today. I am glad it seems to be a winner.

The rotary blade has to be inserted in the tear-shape opening at the bottom of the slot. You also need to be standing to the left of the slot if you are right-handed or to the right of the slot if you are left-handed. Be sure that your 45 mm blade is sharp enough to cut through all layers.

I absolutely love mine!!! I have the 1/2 inch spaced ruler, the 1/8's ruler, and the one for HST's and QST's. Love them all and plan to purchase the 1/4 inch spaced ruler soon. I had problems with not holding my cutter at the right angle and with waivering with the cutter or moving the ruler, but not since I got these wonderful rulers...very accurate cutting now.

My 6 x 24 rulers are now mostly just used for folding fabric. LOL!

If you are using the cutter that depresses as you cut, that could be your problem. May want to go with an exposed blade cutter.

I love the slotted rulers. I have 2 of the 12 x 12. I have the 18", the 1/4" slots, and the one that cuts in 1//8s. Even have the ones for fringe. I found the one that cuts the Half square triangles the other day hanging behind all my other slotted rulers. Funny thing is, a group of us are getting ready to do a scrappy quilt that uses the 6 1/2" triangles so I was so happy to find a ruler I already had.
