I have the studio. And love it. I have cut thousands of strips for the church to use in their charity quilts. I have to replace my first mat this week. It finally cracked. It is so lined with cuts it should have happened before now lol.
I can cut about 7 layers, but Pete can cut 10 because he has more strength to turn the handle. We cut out 800 12x12 squares in about 40 min. I cut fabric into 14 by 14 strips and he ran thru as I had it ready. for my 2 1/2" strips I cut the fabric into 14xwidth of fabric.
Studio very sturdy and guaranteed for life.
