I love mine also. There is the Alto QuiltCut and the Alto QuiltCut 2. From what I can tell they are basically the same but on the QuiltCut 2 has some of the parts that were previously plastic have been replaced with metal. I acquired mine very reasonably on the Yahoo Group SewItsForSale which is just for the sale of used sewing and quilting related merchandise. They are posted quite frequently. Mine arrived in like new condition. The mat didn't even look like it had been cut on. Ann in TN
