My new to me Altos' Quiltcut 2 arrived this morning
1 Attachment(s)
After someone mentioned the Quiltcut I was intrigued and started searching for reviews. I went to their website and watched the videos and liked what I saw. What I didn't like was the price tag, at $225.00 :eek: I thought it was a bit steep. So I set out to find a gently used one, low and behold I found one for $75.00:thumbup:. It arrived this morning and is in great shape. Cant wait to use it, I have to clear away a few projects then I can pull it out and start cutting fabric for my mystery quilt through my LQS!!!!![ATTACH=CONFIG]306130[/ATTACH]

Lucky you. That's a great price. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
|
Can't wait to hear how you like using it.
|
Sounds very cool, let us know how you like it.
|
that's a great price. Let us know how you like it. I was so tempted at the last quilt show I went to.
|
I love mine. First of all it's accurate. Second it's accurate. And finally since it is more like a tool that has a woodworking feel to it my DH now helps me with all my cutting. I check the measurements needed and he cuts with the rotary cutter.
|
Looks good, let us know how it works out for you.
|
I have one love it. It is the greatest for cutting straight and fast.
|
Just a word -- that metal thingy on the bar can be removed. I've never used mine. I love my Altos!
|
Whoo Hoo what a deal !!!!! thats AWESOME..
Im still cleaning my sewing room.:hunf:. I haven't found any table top space in my room to put mine.:thumbdown:. Its still in the box.. :(... But im getting closer to a clean room !!:o |
i found one on craigs list for $40.00!!! It had only been used once. I have had it only two weeks but so far LOVE it! So far i have only cut strips but seems to work great.
|
LOVE MINE - and my mom loves the one that I gave her too. I really think that it is one of the only things that I have given her in many years that she truly loves and uses. Enjoy it. You will wonder how you got along without one for so long.
|
GREAT PRICE! Thats what I paid for a used 1. I wonder what the diffrence between them are? It looks just like mine.
Except that "thingy" that Willfreg mentioned. On mime it's plastic. I have used it but is pretty useless to me. All in all, I love it. |
If I don't get the bottom of the fabric exactly straight on a line on the mat I get the V in the middle of my strips. It's hard to get it exactly straight all the way across. I have to use a second ruler to align the fabric. That is the only con I have for mine.

Hi, if you don't get your fabric on the straight of grain you will wind up with the v in the fold area.:confused:

The instructions say to line up the fold of the fabric on one of the mat lines. The fixed cutting guide can not line up the bottom like a regular ruler so the mat line has to be used. It really doesn't matter about the straight of grain with the fixed ruler. I had a private lesson with the Alto rep at Paducah how to use it as I was having so much trouble. She really helped. I was over thinking a lot of it making it difficult. I use it to cut on the bias, now that is fast and easy. |
Congrats on your great find!!
