I got mine for Christmas 3 Christmases ago, now, and I use it at least once a week. Yesterday I made the BOM for my quilt guild with it, only I made 5 blocks! When I first got it I was cutting too much fabric but now I have calmed down and cut what I need...I have added to my dies over the years and have what I need and use...it is a wonderful tool and I am still learning new things to do with it. Have fun!
