There seems to be some confusion, since she was asking about software and making her own designs, she is referencing a "cutter", not a die cutter, there is a big difference.
Accuquilt is a die cutter, no software or making your own designs unless you want to pay a big price for accuquilt to make your design into a die.
the cutters do work with software and computers. Those machines cut different materials and use a 1/4" or less of a blade. You are limited on the layers (1) versus accuquiltt at 10 at a time.
The Brother scan n cut is a great machine, but there are others on the market. Stay away from Janome Edge, many dealers are not,carrying them due to alot of problems. The parts and blades are not available due to supply chain. Don't be tempted by their lowering the price right now. You cannot get the blades or mats for fabric cutting...you just have to wear out the ones you get with the machine. Ask me how I know. My next cutter will be the Brother.
