i received mine as a door prize, so it was worth fiddling to get the hang of it.

1. starch, starch, starch the heck outta the fabric.
2. takes lots of practice.
3. the blades get dull every bit as fast as in manual rotary cutters.

i like using mine to make bias binding using the "tube method."
no way i'm drawing all those lines or using scissors to cut the strip.
i figured out how to run the offset tube through the electric cutter.
that takes even more practice but saves hours when i have to make binding for more than one quilt.

it's worth the price if you are willing to put in the practice and as long as you understand you'll need to feed it new blades at least as often as you do your hand cutter.
