I like mine, but the dies are very expensive. The cuts are accurate and it does save time. Some say it wastes fabric, but once you get used to using it you can figure out how to cut that down. Ebay sometimes has good prices on dies. I buy from them and there is another website I can't think of the name right now, but they are more reasonable on the die prices. The mats wear out but they aren't that expensive. Hope this helps.
