I have the pounce pad..and love it! I also have the Alto's Quilt cut..I use it all the time. I think the biggest waste of money is sitting right in front of me..not that it was expensive..but..useless. It is a plastic container with a handle on it that holds all of those spools of thread for embroidery. It is called a slim line bobbin case. The hinges broke within the first week. There is a set of metal bias bars that are useless too. I used them one time..they got so hot from the iron that I burnt my fingers.
