Hi I had one of these and just sent it back to sew for less where i bought it.

I couldn't cut more than one piece of fabric at once and it was hard to manuver with out sliding over ond off the sm platform..I just explained that it wasn't what I expected. I just ordered fabric from them to replace the cost of the machine. I wish you better luck with yours. Dawn

My wonderful husband bought me one and even made me the extension table for it. I cannot get the fabric to run through it evenly. You will not the picture on the box has a strip that is being cut into a smaller strip. This might work but I was cutting strips from wider fabric. I wish I could take it back but so much time has lapsed and I would never want my husband to think I was not grateful. My sister has since bought me the Accuquilt GO! which works wonderful. It is a lot more expensive, but worth it in my book.

I got one and returned it the same day. It was like cutting fabric with my "paper" rotary cutter.

I too brought one at Wal-Mart and could not get it to cut the fabric in a straight line, no matter how narrow the strip of fabric, so I returned it and got my money back. I understand there is a more expensive version of this cutter that might work better.

I have one and have tried it different times, It doesn't do what it says it is supposed to do, Mine is sitting in the closet, I would take it back if I were you, knowing how it doesn't work!

This machine is for crafts, not so much for quilting. It does what it's suppose to do which is to cut strips of fabric. I use it for string quilting and it works fine for that! I don't have the patience to get accurate cut jelly roll strips. I haven't changed the blade since I bought it and it is still sharp. I bought it at a quilt shop when it first came available. I think it had a better quality blade then now. My DGD uses it to cut strips for wrapping headbands and bangles. It does have it's uses.

I bought one at Joann's last year. I took it home and, before I even got it out of the box, DH said, "Why don't you buy an Accuquilt Go?" He didn't have to ask me twice! I ordered the Go and took the Simplicity cutter back for a refund. I will be interested to know how you like it.
