Do it! I started a similar thread a couple of months ago and I took the plunge. $183 is a great price. I paid $199 at Sewforless with free shipping. I just love it. Once you get it and register it at the Accuquilt site, you can answer a survey and do product reviews to earn points that you can use to buy new dies. Unless you do a lot of applique, you really don't need that many dies. As a fabriholic, I found that the uncut bolts of fabric are getting reduced in size to manageable bit that actually fit in a shoe box. Then the pieces are cut and ready to go into quilts. And the best part is that my hubby is happy to join in! I love it and you will too. All I can say is GO!!!
