I have a knk zing cutter. I bought it from my quilt shop when they were featuring it for use with iron on vinyl or to make templates for crystals. I have used it mostly for card stock in a variety of projects. Actually never for fabric, but lots of vinyl. As in everything, somewhat of a learning curve. I have sure cuts alot software and it is user friendly. I am not sure about cutting detail in fabric, you would definitely need to stabilize it well. If you have many of anything fabric to cut I still think that your accuquilt studio would be the best way to go. I also have the studio, and had a custom die made by them during a sale. Gives you an option for quilts that they don't currently have dies for. The zing will cut any cutting design out there on the internet. Sort of like embroidery design options, sky is the limit. The zing has been a great cutter for me.
