I invested in the Accuquilt system about 12 years ago. I saw it first on the tv show Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson. Thought it was way too costly, but then I saw it on another show (not sure which one) and thought I needed to see iit in person. Then I went to The Road to California quilt show and there was a booth put on by Quilt In A Day - it was all Accuquilt. And I was able to see it, ask questions and try it. I was alone at the show, so there was no one to talk me out of it. When I tried it the first time, I was not happy. Then I watched the videos, followed the directions (what a concept!) and I have loved it ever since. It is safe to say now, if I can't cut it with Accuquilt, I am not going to make it. I started off with the GO, the 2.5 inch strip die, the Value die, clam shell, and 2 sizes of the tumbler die. You do need to be to rough cut yardage to fit the dies, but that's so much easier than trying to accurately cut pieces with scissors or even rotary cutting with templates. A friend and I cut out all the pieces for a king size DWR quilt in a couple hours. (And that included ironing and starching the fabric. Don't even get me started on triangles.
