I have had one for 3 years. I saw it at a quilt show and told my husband about it and he bought it for me for Christmas. You can only buy it at a quilt show or online. I had a slight problem with the mat. It was very stiff and hard to cut on. Changed the mat and it works fine. I did get a video with it. You can go to Alto's Quilt Cut 2 and see a demo. Once you get the hang of it you cutting will be perfect.
