Bought one in 2009. Have never really used it like I should. I have loaned it out plenty. Mostly used for cutting paper to decorate notice boards at church and school. Some decorations for the kids rooms. I suspect the new ones are pretty different now.? Everyone seems to be on board with the Silouette? Great use for appliqué. Friends had to get Silouette for embroidery class and love it? I don’t want to invest any more money in stuff like that. I also have a Sizzix and yet I really want an Accu Go cutter! Geesh, maybe I need to get these both out and try to use them!
