    GO DWR die???

    I am thinking of buying this die....for those who have and made a quilt with it...... How did you organize the various fabs for cutting each of the segments.....did you cut, layer each section fab, then roll or do each section color separately......is there a tute somewhere. Thanks all.......I just googled DWR and see that it's two dies...that makes more sense to me, seems to answer my above question.....also saw a template set by simplicity.....cheaper, now do I want to make the Big investment($90) or small ($13) for making ONE quilt.......

    I had the same dilemma with the Studio winding ways. It was on sale but still pricey. I'm glad I got it. I've used it for 5 quilts and I have a couple more planned. I never would have attempted a block with curved piecing without a die. I tried it with a template and couldn't get the curves consistent. Just depends on how many DWRs you have planned so you could prorate the cost. How often do you spend $$ on a book/pattern and associated template or ruler? Also, if you belong to a quilting group, you could offer to cut for others at a nominal fee, offer to cut one as a raffle prize, or do it out of the kindness of your heart!

    Paper princess.......I too have the winding ways die and yes it was worth every penny....so I will order DWR with that in mind......more accurate and faster than cutting around a handful of templates....just needed that little nudge!
