Thanks everyone!
Yes, ScubaK, it's the Silhouette Cameo.....it is used like a Cricut and can cut paper, plastic fabric, etc. another lady customer in the shop overheard me asking and said she attended the quilt class where they demo'd it. She said it was the 'wiz-bang' and was fabulous. Once you buy the machine, you scan or download your own designs or ones you find....the cost comes in the stabilizer you have to put on the fabric so it will run thru. You also can only run one layer at a time. She sells both in her store and from what I have gathered the Cameo is just making its appearance as a tool for quilters.
I think I may be siding with my hubby on this....the GO is maybe what I need.
