I saw that for sale at Home Depot at one point. My thoughts
exactly...same tool - half the price!

I discussed the cutter with my quilting teacher who is very experienced
and a buyer for the store. Has ordered one in to try out. and if they
like it will stock it. So i should be able to get the pros and any cons
before buying. However I could not convince my teacher they, the shop,
should offer a cutting service. LOL!

Am I the only one who finds it annoying that as soon as a tool is
marketed for quilters that the price increases? My pet peeve are hair
clips from the dollar store (that I use to clip down binding while
hemming it) that cost a heck of a lot more at a quilt/fabric store.
Thanks so much for the link to a Gripper alternate!

One reason I get my binder clips and rubber finger grippers from the
office supply store! Next trip to the attic I'll have to dig out the
mat cutter I have up there and see how comparable it is as well.
Granted, that wasn't cheap either but if it does the same thing why
spend another $200! Somehow I don't think the mat cutter is quite as
versatile though.
