I have one and I LOVE IT!!!!!! So much that I bought another for my mom. She loves her. We both have arthritis issues and it helps SO MUCH. I don't have a place for it to stay up all the time here, but that will be changing next week when we move. My new room is TWICE the size of the one I have now.
My husband really loves it too. :lol: :lol: :lol: Before QuiltCut he used to have to hold my rulers for me when I was cutting out a new quilt. Not anymore. Now he says if he would have known how great it was for him, HE would have bought it for me.
I love all of the features - the rail for the ruler, the knob on the ruler - everything. Some people have problems with reading the markings on the mats but there are mats available with different color combinations.
I purchased my QuiltCut from a wonderful member of this board. Actually, that is how I found this board. You can do GOOGLE search and sometimes find listings for them for sale. I also have a 'Saved Search" on eBay that let's me know when a new listing is added. I purchased my mom's off of eBay - and it was only $85 including shipping.
DH asked why I keep getting the eBay listings since I have one and my Mom has one. I have seen some of them go extremely low. And if I can get one for a little bit of money, I will get another for me - and maybe for my mom - just to have. I guess that is the hoarder for me. :? :? Usually when I love something as much as this they stop making them and then I break or ruin mine and not be able to find a replacement.

I realized I could set my Altos on a turntable that I had in my cabinet for spices, and I did not have to move the fabric...just turn the Altos. That way I can cut up to 17" blocks. WooHoo!
I have been thinking about finding a television cabinet that has the lazy susan on the top and using that for my QuiltCut. That would just make it a total dream to use.
I do use it for making the D?P twisted blocks, it is really easy to use for that.
