The time depends on how intricate the design is. You can't cut more than one layer of fabric at a time. How many do you think you will need? The cost might be in blades and mats as the mats only stay sticky so long. And by the way, the cartridges have come way down in price. I don't know about this flower one as I haven't seen this one before. Cartridges that were once $89.95 can now be purchased on several websites for as low as $14.95.
