The biggest problem with the electric cutters is still how to get the most cuts. For instance, the Cameo only does 12 inches wide, but I can do 10 feet long. Most usually cut one layer at a time, so I might be able to lay out 3 4 inch squares on the width, and I'd need to count 4 4 inch squares in length. That's 16 inches. Now to figure out how to move and how much length of fabric I'd need. One the 12x12 mat, I'd only get 12 4 inch squares. I'd have to set up for enough fabric length to get 100 squares.
I've cut some complicated paper stuff on the Cameo, and it seems that doing a few layers at once on the die cutters is more efficient.
If you are doing a quilt with all different blocks and sizes of pieces, the electronic cutter is better. Easier to size, rather than find a die.
