I have the Studio 2 and love it. I have mine set up on a rolling cart and store my dies and cutting plastics below the machine in the cart. I do not regret the money I have invested in my Studio 2 and dies. I am able to cut my quilts perfectly with minimum effort. I have never regretted buying the commercial grade machine. Dies go on sale. I pick the dies I want and put them on my Wish List on the Accuquilt site. When the sales come along, I am always ready to take advantage of them. I absolutely love piecing with PERFECTLY cut pieces.
