For me, the cost of the fabric cutting machines and the dies just too expensive for me. I was watching a demo of one of the Accuquilt machines. They were showing how to cut for a log cabin. I watched as the lady took two rulers to cut the fabric just to put it into the machine to cut it. I thought how much faster my June Tailor Shape Cut could cut those strips for the log cabin. Also, they have squares dies, triangle dies,etc. But when I make HST I use the Wonder Ruler to make quick triangles. And I usually make strip sets to make my quilts. Just my opinion. Many people love their Accuquilts, it's just not for me.
