You also need to position the fabric so it cuts with the lengthwise grain. Right now they are having very good sales, but I doubt they will continue past Christmas. Oh, and the Accuquilt videos all end up on YouTube in addition to Facebook. As to your other questions, the die boards last pretty much forever, but the mats used with them only last for a few hundred cuts. Buy spares when they have a good sale. You have to match the die board to a mat size, so you will,end up with a big assortment.
