IMHO...It works for some. There are some good applique shapes. I have started to hear those who have purchased it have ended up letting it sit.
IMHO...I would save the money for fabric. I would concentrate on learning to solve your cutting issues.
Are your rotary blades sharp? Are you cutting straight? How many layers? ...and many more questions.
Have you asked someone to watch you cut fabric and give you tips and recommendations to improve?
I'll be watching this thread to hear what others have to say.
