The quilt shop where I worked bought one and we only used it for cutting out shapes for machine applique. The Shop did one Quilt Along where we used the AccuCut. When the owner retired she gifted the cutter and all the dies to me for Comfort quilts. I used it once and decided it wasn't for me. Then again, like others, I don't have a dedicated space to have it set up and I love my Shape Cut and Stripology rulers.I can see where it might be good for someone with hand issues. I had one woman in a class that just didn't have the strength to hold the ruler securely and cut. I recommended an AccuCut to her and she told me she bought one and her husband cuts the fabric, enabling her to sew.
