I have the AccuQuilt Studio and I can't say just how much I adore it! I've also come to the conclusion that I'm terrible at cutting accurately with out the dies.

For those who are having a little bit of difficulty with cranking it, I've found two things help me:

1) Instead of just lining the cutting plastic to the beginning of the die, if you can, have the cutting plastic overhang a little (1" or so) on the side that is going through first.

2) Make sure you don't have any straight lines parallel to the roller. I couldn't figure out why I was having trouble cutting my HSTs one day when I had 6 layers (I typically do 9 or the full 10 layers on quilting weight cotton). Turns out I had a straight edge on the roller.
