I've been looking at the Alto cutting system too. Maybe after I settle down with the Accuquilt Go I'll be much more serious about the Alto 2. I have quilted for years and my cutting still gives me fits. That's got to be the reason these tools are so appealing to me. I am really getting tired of triming everything I do. I just finished a batch of HST's and had to trim each one. Took me most of the day!!
