I tried the other types and hated them, but this one is a no-brainer.

they do, thanks Stephen.  Cutting strips has always been a bugbear for me too!

Marsha, your platter looks great!  I like the blue strips and that was a great mold to use for it IMHO!

Blues are definitely my favorite color, I like this Marsha!  And I'll bet your friend will LOVE it! 

I have a strip cutter, but it's not a Cutters Mate, some day I'd like to try one.  LOL..I tend to use just a T-Square with cork applied to the back, takes a little longer probably, but I must be old fashioned....or cheap.  LOL
