Thanks, Peckish. This was exactly what I was looking for. Now to get the mat and one or two dies. I'm excited to get started and play with my new toy.

Thanks for the links. The user manual shows more than the one I got.

I also have a question about the cutting mats. I think I saw where you can use a 5x5 mat but I think I also saw that a 6x12 can be used. Can anyone that has one give me a answer? I want to be sure I buy the correct mat. Thanks for your help.

The last dies that I purchased a few months ago came from Eleanor Burns' web site. Shipping was free for Accuquilt products!

I wish I had seen your response before I ordered a couple of mats and a die from Accuquilt. I would have saved the shipping costs. Next time I'll check her site first before ordering. Thanks for the info.

I buy from Amazon Prime from Accuquilt. Always free shipping and returns are super easy if the die is messed up. Don't need authorization to return either, print return label and send back free. Your cc is credited as soon as the label is scanned at your local drop off or Post Office. Prime is a good value for the price. I use cc points at Amazon and always have enough to pay for a new die when I want it. I use the points for my quilting buys. LOL

You can also buy dies, etc. on Amazon or ebay. Just a suggestion.

Got two of the 6x6", 2 in a pack for $3.99@ and also two of the single 5x10 for $7.99@. Will be using the 6x6" for my new 4.5" tumbler dies when it gets here. Have a lot of charity quilts to create from scraps.

The sign at my Joann fabrics says the AccuQuilt sale will be running through November 10th. Very unusual for the sale to last that long-they've been on sale for awhile now. They are rarely on sale at JAF. The only problem is, due to theft, the actual dies are kept elsewhere, and you need to choose from poorly photocopied pictures of the dies.

The reason JAF is saleing them is they are clearing out their stock as they will no longer be carrying them. Accuquilt has decided to only sell through approved independent retailers (ie. quilt shops) and on the Accuquilt website. No one else will be allowed to carry their products. They are also clearing out all GO Baby and carriers as I believe they will not be making them in the future and will concentrate on the Studio, Go Cutter and Go Big machines. Anything JAF has will be sale priced and cleared and once it is gone it is gone, they will not be able to order in the future.
