I've been looking at the Cricut Expressions and realized that I want it for the sake of having it. Then I looked at the Accucut and I was floored by its price.
I decided against both of them - at least for now.
The Accucut seems to have a very limited die selection, and some of the basic shapes I would prefer to do in strip sewing rather than individual cuts.
Of course, when a quilter is not so steady with the rotary cutter, then it is the perfect tool. I can also see that it is a better approach for quilters with joint problems in their hands.
How often do they come out with new dies?
One of the gals at our guild says that she has a cutter at her store and if someone buys the yardage at her store, then she would run it through the cutter. It's worth asking around.
