I love mine. I use it to cut charms, 2.5 inch squares, and odd shapes like the apple core. I also own the log cabin which I just got and the 8" rag. Anything that is hard to cut or can't be cut with a rotary cutter is great. I also plan to get the circle die. I don't use it for strips because I think using a rotary cutter is easier for strips.
I bought mine on amazon and it came with one die.
