NOT ME! I got one for Christmas last year, cut one quilt evaluated the waste, and how it stretched some of the fabrics and sold it. I purchased the Alto quilt cutter2 with the money I sold the Acuquilt for and am glad I did. :)
Eeeek! I just got the Accuquilt Go and haven't tried it yet. Now I'm scared.
There are thousands who love the Go and I'm one of them. The waste is the user's fault. No need to have more then 1/4" waste. I would not go back to rotary cutting now that I have the Go. I have the Alto QuiltCut 2 and it's nice but can't compare to the Go. Enjoy your purchase.
I only had excess of 1/4 inch around each side, however on a 2 inch square that is a waste if 1/2 inch ea side. that equals 25%. Yes I do enjoy the quilt cutter 2 and it does not stretch fabrics, however to eachhis own. :)
