Accuquilt makes 2 cutting machines. the GO! and the studio
the GO! is available at many retailers and is what is seen at the quilt shows.I am also not impressed with this one.
But have not used it extensively or sewn a quilt cut on one.
I have a studio, much larger machine with a heavier roller,dies are much thicker. To me ,it makes better cuts that are more accurate.
Yes it was expensive and they are only available online thru Accuquilt and they don't often have sales!
But instead of spending 3 hrs cutting 1 queen size quilt I can cut 6-8.
I spend more time sewing and the sewing is more enjoyable. The fabrics are the exact size and shape they should be.
Appliques are a dream at first I always used fusible but now I just starch the fabrics, cut and sew!
and you can use trees and flowers on anything and it will look better, really spices up my borders.
My wish list is the DWR die, to use up all those tiny scraps I have!
