I love my Alto Cutter. I bought it at a sewing expo about 4-5 years ago and have used it as my sole cutting surface when I am at home. I get much more accurate cuts with it than with just a mat, rotary cutter, and ruler. It is so easy to use. I found a microwave cart at a local thrift store for $20 last summer and it works perfectly for it. The Alto just fits on top and there is lots of storage below. I thought I would enclose a photo in case you are interested. Because it is on wheels, I can wheel it anywhere in the house as needed. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :XD: :mrgreen: :D :D I highly recommend it!
