What size do you cut your strips to use for the 1" tape maker? I just bought one, but I'd like to get started cutting the strips in advance.

Theoretically, 2" inches (Twice the width of the finished size of the tape maker). However, the thickness and stiffness of your fabric can affect your outcome. Starching your strips makes them easier to work with. I have also found that cutting heavier fabrics a little narrower (1 3/4") makes them guide more evenly.

It comes with the wider 1/2 tape and that is the one I had trouble cutting through. I ordered a 3 pack of 3/8 tape from Amazon and that worked perfectly.

By "older vs. newer" do you mean the larger vs. smaller sizes? To my knowledge the same strips are used for both, so yes, these strips will work for either. If you have a smaller unit they only need 1/2 as much stripping, so you'd be getting 'twice' as many strips when you cut them in half. :-)

Edith,I took a hacksaw and cut off 2 1/2 inches. I use a 34 1/2 inch cane. It was easy as pie. If you know someone with a band saw, it would make it easier. I love the cane. It is one of my favorites to use. It makes a statement without drawing too much attention to you.Steve

you bought one, thought the holes were bigger, don't have a tape to measure yourself ---its a waste of money-- and you're asking me the diameter? perfectly happy with mine, size is fine, machine works great, cleans easy, the size is bigger than my mouth can comfortably hold. which leads to the question, how big do you need?.

Jake,Cut it with one of "those" cutters, or a regular pair of scissors?When these regular-size sims are cut, what are we cutting through?Just excess cardboard?What do we have to be aware of?

I started with .5mm, then 1mm and currently am using 1.5mm. The "discomfort" gets a little worse as you move up to a longer needle length, but doing it in steps makes it a little easier.

So sorry, cannot help. I had to return them because they didn't cut anywhere near an inch like they are claim to. Decided to get one from Home Depot for about $8 (which I'm sure is available at Amazon too). Good luck!

The other tip I want to offer.. If your buying this dont buy the pre-cut string make your own.. I bought a spool of low noise twisted commercial grade line.. I pre-cut 4 pieces when I am edging so if you loose string its a quick change.. The string is 130 -@ 150 ft. Cuts very nice and edges wonderfully.. You also don't need 4 pieces of string I only use 2 at a time... Good luck...

I didn't that little one---but i would be very careful what I trimmed off--& ?why do you need to cut some off?the ones I bought are 7" x 26" i wouldn't cut off more than 1 inch.

You could easily make that cut. This paper cutter is really great for the price. The only cuts I have trouble making are if the width of the paper is less than two inches. So, if I had a 2" x 2" piece of paper and I wanted to make it 2" x 1", it won't work because the blade housing is too wide. But to trim a normal-sized piece of paper down is no problem.

The strips are pretty narrow so it shouldn't be an issue at all. We also needed it for a small gap in the door. And they are easy to cut. These are great!

We use scissors. It is a great tape. The best double sided available for the price.

I just bought a spool of replacement line in the same diameter and cut it in 5" to 6" lengths. I bought regular line but it seems to break off quite easily. Buy the heavy duty stuff and save yourself frequent changes during one trimming session.

I buy the rolls & cut them the size I need them. Just be careful not it too small or it doesn't have enough room to close and seal. Learned that the hard way. Hope this helps

Sorry Mike. I have a larger cutter that will cut the dementions you ask for. And it will cut it fine. you wont go wrong. After buying the first cutter and saving time and money I would have been wrong not to up grade to the cutters I have.
