I rarely use mine any more but that doesn't mean I won't go through a streak of OCD where it will get used. My SIL uses her's all the time. I have had mine for about 10 years easily now. Mine does not do fabric the newer machine does. I have been looking at die cutters lately and am looking at the Accucutter. For a few years I was using it all the time for paper crafting. Now I am so caught up in my quilting I have had little time for my paper crafting.
