What is the best die cutting machine to cut fabric? Can you design your own art on your computer or tablet to cut or do you have to use a specific software design app?
Thanks

I have the accuquilt Go and Big Go and like them both. The dies are to expensive to use if you are only making a table runner or something small. But, a real time saver if you are cutting a quilt. I also have the brother scan n cut. I like it if you are only going to cut a few pieces and you can design your own pattern on the computer to be cut. It's wireless, so you just sent it from your computer to the cutter. But, you have to have special mats for fabric and sometimes the fabric needs to have a fusible backing on it. I have taken paper, sprayed it and put the fabric on that and it did work if I didn't want backing on it.
