wondeful ideas!! I've been walking my bit 6x24 ruler about 1/3 at a time and now I see these cool products!!
Here is one that caught my eye - No slip ruler JUST the width of the strip you want to cut.
I have the June Taylor Shape Cut Plus but... you also need a smaller rotary to fit in those tiny lines (and I've seen my lines wave) cuz the plastic isn't all that "sturdy" --- If I won the lotto lmao Oh heck I'd have someone DO all the cutting but also those neat Accuquilt Cutters (pretty pricey when starting out).
That said, yep tried a bit o spray basting, it works but has it's own set of issues... The dot... Well sometimes I DO want to move my ruler *sigh*
Now that I saw the rulers in special width that grip the fabric -- hmm next holiday is Valentines wonder if that is a "sweet" enough present :-)
Good luck, really practice, practice and more cutting practice makes it better :-)
Off cuts - At some stores they GIVE you a bit extra so you can at least get the FQ size after squaring up, not a the "big" stores... The larger yardage I get there are other issues (maybe not squared up but a 10 yard piece seamed about 8 yards into it!!!)
You'll find your groove, let us know which option(s) you try and how you like or don't each one too!
