I remember when AQ first came out with machines and dies - i was like WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I EVER NEED THAT OR EVEN WANT IT???
I pre ordered the Accuquilt Go before it was released. I knew as soon as I heard about it how great it would be for me. I brought it to the guild for a demo because i was so excited about it. Old biddy members turned up their noses at it. And the thought of having to buy mats and different dies was just absurd. One said boy they saw you coming! About a year later they SAID I could bring it to sewday so they could cut lots of fabric for donation quilts and save them from cutting all that fabric. I didn't show up. We moved not long afterwards and I found a new guild and many of the members had the Go and the guild bought dies to use for donation fabric cutting.
