Any Accu-Quilt Specials Coming Up? I haven't received any emails in a long time.

I have used the rag die for over a dozen quilts. I found that I don't have to pick out the fibers from the die. They build up and come out on their own. It doesn't effect the cuts at all. Sure saves me a lot of fussy time. That's how I found out I didn't have to remove them, I didn't want to so didn't.
Is this the right machine? http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Creati...A1RQOO67LVAPSA
These are the Sizzix sheets I use, along with the thinner acrylic, to shim up the Accuquilt dies: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For dies, I've found a few new ones on Etsy at good prices, but mostly just randomly, not all from one seller. I got into a war with PayPal a few years ago so I've avoided eBay ever since, LOL.

I found the demo of using Accuquilt dies with it. I had my mom order it, and between then, I'll get on Accuquilt's website and get atleast a 2 1/2 inch square die. I do watercolor quilts, and instead of 2 inch squares, I'll do 2 1/2 inch so I can use jelly rolls, which are already color coordinated. With a die cutter, I can add, like a star block throughout. I seriously don't think that the perfectly cut quilts in shops are cut by hand, some of them. And I know people who cut jelly roll strips use a die cut of somehow.
Every once in a while, I try ebay, and get a seller I don't have good luck with, despite a bunch of positive feedbacks. Kind of tired of Ebay. With Etsy, I buy fabric and a few other things. Never a problem.

I've gotten two emails today, one that had $50 off the Go, and another one with a percentage off of the dies, I think it was like 20%. I'm sorry I didn't read the whole thing since I'm not planning to buy more but I'd check thier website.
