LauraJ Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Tried doing a search in the forums - nothing that I could see. Does anyone have the Quilt Cut? Do you like it? Is it worth the $? I'm a strip person and was thinking this would help with time! Thanks for any info or opinions. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I bought one a couple of years ago and never really used it. I finally stored it away. If you decide you want one, let me know, maybe we can make a deal. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspingler Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Our quilt shop bought one and uses it to make Jelly Rolls. One thing I will have to caution her about is making sure the fabric has no wrinkles in it and to make sure it is folded straight. I bought one and there are little "V"s in almost all the strips and some have wrinkles that distort the measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have had one for a number of years and don't use it. I have the original one and found that the little arm (for want of a better description) that measures the width of the fabric strips is not accurate and the strips were not consistent in size. The arm on mine is flexible and it is difficult to make an accurate measurement. I do know that there is an updated version being sold now but I wasn't willing to pay an additional fee to buy a new arm. I don't feel that mine was worth the money.

Brenni Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I gave mine away. My strips were never straight. Same problem as Sue described above. I can cut strips without it faster and with fewer problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have one and use it sometimes. I love the mat that came with it and use that always! I just get going and don't take the time to line it all up. I use my regular ruler to measure and then slide the arm right up next to the ruler. This solves the problem of the little play it does have. If I use it I do like it. It is especially handy if you have to cut tons of squares or hst.

RitaR Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I too have one and seldom use it. My reasons for not uising it are: It's too heavy, takes up too much room on the table and I don't like to use it for a lot of things because the rulers I use get tangled on the edges.. the mentioned play in the guide and thus wonky cuts.. and too often I need the full table for whatever I'm doing. Can't lift it myself so it's always a problem. Would love to sell it. I think I'll stick it on Craigs list for local pickup. Too darned heavy to ship.

LauraJ Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for all the input - won't spend the $$ when I can use it for other things and keep using my rulers. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
