I'm also interested in this cutter and have been going back and forth in my mind about getting it or not. I only wish they weren't so expensive. I've asked about it at my LQS's but most there have never heard of it, they always assume I'm talking about the accuquilt. From what I understand one can only use the Alto cutting mats and they aren't of great quality. Those of you who have used this do you find this to be true? Thank you for asking about this.
