I love my Alto Quilt Cut. Just ask my sisters, I talk about it all the time. My cutting is so much more accurate now. I don't find it difficult to take out or put away.It is very easy to use. I cut fabric for a quilt, and put the Alto back in its box until I am ready to start a new quilt. Lots of people like the Accu Cut, but I think it is pretty expensive to have to buy separate dies. .
