The Accuquilt site has some great videos to teach you how to use the system. You have to listen to a lot of banter to find the details, but they are there. Also remember the videos are designed to get you to buy something new, so don’t get sucked into that trap, at least until you understand the system. Note the Qubes cut components 1/2 and 1/4 of the size they are labeled, so an 8” Qube makes components 2” and 4” finished. There are good sources of dies. Eleanor Burns gives free shipping and there is another dealer that is good too , but I can’t remember her name! Something like LadyBug or Ladybird. There is also an Australian company whose dies fit perfectly in Accuquilt cutters. Since they include a mat with the die, the cost is actually equivalent. Look up Blue Wren dies. They arrive in the US in 3-4 weeks from when you order.
