It's been around for years. There are lots of online videos how to use it.

Neat. New to me too!

Yep you are right very expensive

What a cool toy. A little pricey for me though.

Cool toy -- I had to chuckle though.....YEARS ago I bought a similar type of equipment for cutting stained glass!!!!

I heard a couple of people talking about this Alto system. They've had theirs for years but never use them.

I have the older Alto cutting system. It isn't worth the price. It is merely a cutting board and a clamping system to hold your fabric while you use your rotary cutter.

ooooo pretty would love to have it but a little out of my range right now but maybe tax time if hubby can have a $400 kitchen aid (pro series) i guess i could get that it would sure get used alot more than the mixer lol!

If I was younger I would buy one of these. They are great. My young friends have them, and they sure use it.

Would you be interested in sell yours? This one is cheaper than the new smaller one that is out now. I have wanted this one ever since I seen it.
Anyone have one that they would like to sell??
Contact me please,
Thanxs

I saw this demonstrated at a quilt show & it looked great. Didn't buy. Since I don't have a quilting room, don't have any place really to set it up.

Caroltee 06-14-2010 04:49 PM

I LOVE mine U can put it on the kitchen table or any surface that you can use for cutting out fabrics A card table works well

I would love to get that for my mom.

mdollar 06-15-2010 06:34 AM

Ouch! Waaaayyyyyy out of my price range for sure!

quiltinggolfer 06-15-2010 07:27 AM

I just purchased one and absoultely love it. Makes cutting quilts really fast and accurate. I am even willing to cut for others now for a small fee. You will not be unhappy if you decide to purchase it.

sheron 06-15-2010 11:28 AM

Do you want to sell yours?

quiltstodo 06-15-2010 03:16 PM

I agree with the others I have one and there are times I would rather use the green cutting mats. For the money you can buy alot of fabric.

Purple Sage 06-15-2010 04:07 PM

I have had the original Alto for years and wouldn't be without it!!!
