Sizzix dies to cut multiple shapes, letters, numbers out of fabric, stabilizer or sticky sheets. Also, I confiscated the battery operated metal tape measure from my garage. Its the handiest thing when trying to measure a quilt, I can stand at one edge and turn on the tape measure and the tape just shoots across the quilt until I take my finger off the button. When I'm finished measuring I just press the button to reel it back in. Love it!!
