My hub tried to be real sneaky and bought mine for me for Christmas last year. It arrived a week or so before Christmas...It was agony to sit and look at a great big box that said accuquilt on the side. LoL! But I was a good girl and didn't touch it until Christmas. =) I am glad that I have it and I use it almost every day. Its a huge time saver. I started out by cutting all my fat quarters in various shapes. I have slowly ordered the dies..getting what I consider a good buy as they go on sale. My stash is dwindling as I cut. I got little plastic boxes that stack on my desk and I keep my pieces organized. I really love it. I recently ordered a butterfly die from the accucut side and am waiting for it to arrive. According to the site its compatible. The options out there are endless. I was worried when I got it and it costs so much $$ that it would just be another gadget I had that collected dust..but not so. Its used almost as much as my rotary cutter. =)
