Recently I fell onto a super deal. I never "needed" an accuquilt but I thought I did. An elderly friend was moving and I got her pristine accuquilt in the original box with all her mats and dies for a few hundred dollars. I'm not a quilter per se but I have made quilts. Learning what to do with it seems daunting, but I was thinking it would be great for appliqué shapes and binding strips. Some of the dies are unopened. I don't know where to start.
