I bought dies in several sizes for my Accuquilt because I love HSTs , but I hated to sew them before I got my Accuquilt. Now I love to use them!

Don't give up. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I think you need a new blade in your rotary cutter. I put a new one in at the start of each project - though I don't use it as often now that I have Accuquilt. No, I don't work for A, nor am I an investor - LOL.
