Thanks for the tip. I just ordered one from Joann's as it was on sale only online 12 x 18 size. It also said it now has the 1/4" slot as well as 1/2" slot. Let me know how you like it for cutting triangles.
Seems like this will be a great tool for the "tool box".

Julia, there isn't a 1/4 inch slot. What there is is as quarter inch dotted line that you can move to the edge to cut strips that are something like 2 3/4 inch, etc. I just didn't want you to think there were slots for 1/4 inch - just at the 1/2 inch.

That's good to know. I was under that impression too. Unless it's super hard plastic like most rulers that would be really floppy with slots that close.

Re: June Tailor shape cut ruler
Thanks for the link to the video. I have this ruler, from long ago, but don't use it much. I must remember to get it out and use it more. This looks so fast and easy! I see strips, squares, and HST in my future by the baskets full!
Re: June Tailor shape cut ruler
One question I have is that I have this ruler but only the 12" one and when you cut strips how do you keep from getting dips and waves were the folds are?
Re: June Tailor shape cut ruler
I definitely recommend the SHAPE CUT PLUS ruler. It's worth it. I also bought the HALF-SQUARE AND QUARTER SQUARE TRIANGLES ruler but I haven't used that very much. It's also good for squaring up blocks.
