I just got an Accu a few weeks ago and I've heard alot of people talking about wasted but there really isn't anymore than usual. I've cut alot of shaped and there is some waste but beings I pre iron the webbing before cutting I just keep whats left to use for a smaller cut. Like I cut out some flowers and took a previous cut of fabric to put in the little circle for the center. I have a box I keep with all the leftovers for other things so really not to much waste there either. I love my Accucutter. I just showed a Rag Quilt I did with mine and it went really fast and not to much waste for that either. Its awesome. I sold my motorcycle and bought it and I'm getting alot more miles out of the Accu :thumbup:
