Sewing is more important lol.
The cover that Alto's sells for it looks to be heavy canvas.
My cutting table is one that is 72 inches long with both sides up - has wheels so is mobile. I have the Alto on one side, ACCUQUILT - GO on the other.
See if your mother likes the unit, she may surprise ya. It is easy to use. Size for many may be a problem but it really is not that heavy.
If you could only afford ONE cutting machine, which would you choose, Alto or Accuquilt?[/quote]
The Alto Quilt Cut 2 = $209, The ACCUQUILT - GO = $349 reg price, have seen it around for as little as $211(amazon)
If I was only able to afford one - the Alto Quilt Cut would be my choice as the other is somewhat limited with the dies.
The dies are a certain size with the GO.
Depending on where you buy the dies, they can be very costly.
