I have the quiltcut 2. My daughter who is a beginner just loves it. Whenever she is cutting anything out, she will use it. For me, it just seems too much trouble to pull it out of the closet. My sewing room is quite small and I cut things out in the Kitchen. So I usually just pull out a rotary mat and cut away.
Would I buy again. probably not. But with my daughter, she would in a second. In fact she will be getting married in November and I will be giving her the quiltcut to take with her. :-)
