I have the Silhouette Cameo and an Accuquilt. I bought the Cameo as I don't need a scanner. I have one. I also have Photoshop and can edit so I need no extra software but what applies to the cutting. Thirdly; I do my own designs.
I also have Illustrator and can save SVG files. Since I mostly do greeting cards and have my own artwork on most, the Silhouette is enough. If I wish to applique, I can use the Silhouette to cut it, or I can use the old Babylock Quiltworks which allows you to import designs and let the embroidery machine do most of the work.
If I want to cut 72 4 inch squares for a quilt, the Accuquilt, Sizzix or Fuze will do a better job. You can cut up to 6 layers of fabric at a time and if you have a multiple cut die (4 squares), you can do 24 at one clip.
Since I'm lucky enough to have programs and peripherals that help with designs, I don't need Brother's and can purchase a cutter only. If you don't have the equipment, then the Brother can be ideal. Just not for 24 4 inch patches at one clip.
