Brother scanncut
 

Just wanted to let those who are interested in one know that joanns has the middle model on sale for 100 dollars off and all accessories are on sale. Looks like a good deal for someone

Dolphymgyrl: Was totally unaware of this machine. Do you own one? Is there a way to waste less fabric?

You really don't waste too much fabric with this machine. You scan the fabric in the machine and that allows you to put your designs as close as you want, you have to leave a little room for cutting the same as other cutting methods. There is less mess than the accuquilt, I have both. Because of the scanning feature you can put fabric scraps of different color/designs on the mat and scan it in and then position you designs on which fabric you want and the cutting is fast. Lots of great features with this one.

Judy: Thank you for the information. For some reason this one appeals to me a lot more than the manual Go's do. Always get into that age old quandary, $400 worth of fabric or $400 worth of machine.

Good point, I always have the same quandary. I go for the fabric:D
