I thought I really wnated one but now I am not so sure of investing in this pricey thing.
Please advise.
I really love mine. I purchased mine when Joann's had them on sale back in April for $199.00 and a starter set came with it. Since then, I've purchased the 2 1/2 strip cutter and mat and also pick up a couple of dies that were marked clearance. I don't think you would necessarily need to purchase the the different mats that go with. Don't know if this helps, but hopefully it's a little insight for you. Have a great evening.
