Strip Cutter-2 1\/2\" (2\" Finished) die. This upgrade is simple, yet offers users a valuable way to expand the use and versatility of their fabric cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GO! Strip Cutter will have four angled guide lines printed on the foam surface.

These preprinted angled guide lines will make it easy to create a variety of shapes with consistent cuts that will save time and fabric. The GO!
