Default Silhouette Cameo

Every year my husband gets two (2) "bonus" first about mid/late
May, and mid November. With these bonuses he generally gives
me about $500 sometimes more depending on what I am looking
to buy.

I had been looking at the Go Big cutter, but didn't like the idea of
having to buy all the cutting dies. A friend suggested that I research
the Silhouette Cameo machine because it can do so much more than
just cut fabric. So I did, and the more I read the more I liked the idea
of what it has to offer.

My hubs told me last week that he would be getting his bonus this
week. Than he asked me what I had planned to to buy. Well I told
him about the Silhouette and he did his own research on it and liked
it as well.

So now I am thinking alright this is supposed to be "my" purchase, and
he plans to use it a lot as well hahahaha.

He told me that he was planning to buy new cordless lithium ion battery
tools (drills, circular saw, nail gun etc) because the current cordless tools
(and more to the point the batteries) are old, and wearing out.

With all that being said I thought about him using the machine I plan to
buy, and think well he does have the right, without his bonus I wouldn't
be getting the Silhouette, but more to the point I use his cordless tools a
LOT myself.

Gosh I love my husband. He is always so generous with his bonuses.

Do any of you have/use the Silhouette Cameo for cutting fabric for their quilts?
How many layers of fabric can you cut at a time?
Do you use it for other things?
