~have you had any problems with the machine?
~do the dies with curves work as well as straight sided ones?
~like all new products, do you think they will come out with a "new and improved" model in the near future?
~where do I get the best deal? :lol:

Thanking you for your input.
Well:
I have cut two queen size quilts with mine, blades are still sharp. The cost of the "blades" as far as I understand and someone else will correct me (hopefully, if I am wrong), would be a new die i.e. the 2" strip approximately 70.00 (in my area).

They have a new and improved model (but it is larger and of course more expensive.)

I have yet to try it with curves, it's on my list, just have gotten to that part.

Do comparison shopping on line until you find the best deal. Sometimes you can find a great deal and get a few extra dies with it.

Hopefully this information is helpful and hopefully others can add to this and educate me as well.
