I am also a gadget fanatic. My dad always said the proper tool for the proper job, and I guess I really took it to heart. I have the big Accucut Studio cutter. I bought it for my paper business, at least 10 years before I started quilting and have hundreds of dies. I have several strip cutters, but had been cutting more and more 3.5 and 4.5 inch strips with a ruler. When I added up what I would pay for these 2 studio dies, I realized I could spend the same amount and get a QuiltCut2. I went to the Grand Rapids AQS show last year and got a show special. I Love my Accucut Studio cutter and also Love my QuiltCut2.
My girlfriend came over Sunday and completely cut out 2 full size bed quilts in a couple hours.
