6 of one half a dozen of the other
I have a big shot and use quilt shape dies from several companies. My only problem is I wish I had more width-now I can only go as wide as about 6 1/8". I want something wider and have looked at the accuquilt machine and even the big shot pro (and too many others to even list)....I only paid 59.99 (on sale, I did later buy longer pads for longer dies so that was an additional expense. I still need to get another pad set which is even longer) for my big shot, to gain another 6 inches in width will be a minimum 5 times what I originally paid..oh my!
I lean away from the accuquilt machine only because it can be a problem using other companies dies-it voids the warranty. I like being able to use any dies I want to. The sizzix site shows quite a few quilting dies that will work in the big shot, then again it has quite a few that won't-there again need the bigger machine
If anyone has any ideas or even more info on the accuquilt machine-I'd love the info, too. I'm gonna take my time figuring out what I plan on getting next.
With the bigger machine I also want to be able to use the dies I have already purchased from other companies.
