Three issues come to mind--how to stabilize the fabric being cut, how hard is it to see where you are cutting? and can you turn corners? This gadget reminds me of a circular saw; great for straight cuts. Period. The factory where I worked once upon a time had cutters that worked like suspended bandsaws which maneuvered handily. Dharma has another cutter a bit like that. I don't think either suited to casual home use.
