Seems like a lot of money to accomplish what you can do with templates. Maybe I'm missing something???
You can cut mulitples in one shot compared to cutting one at a time with templates. Saves a whole lot of time and also gives more accurate cuts especially if you have unsteady hands for whatever reason.

I bought the Sizzix Westminster one in lieu of the Accuquilt Studio due to pricing however if I had not had another choice I would have gladly invested in the studio one. With all it does you would get your money's worth and than some back saving lots of time in preping to applique or piece to sew.

I can cut 8-10 deep with my machine in one pass easily. So say you need 40 of one you only need to cut 5 times versus 40 by hand with a template.
