I was considering one, but then thought of it this way- would you pay, say $25 for several cut heart shapes? I wouldn't. And I doubt I would use this machine to cut squares or triangles. That's just too easy to do with a rotary cutter. I like the shapes, but I would have to use soooooo many to get my money's worth out of this. That being said, I have an embroidery machine, and I doubt I'm getting my money out of that, so " to each his own "!
