AccuQuilt Purchase A Good Investment?
#42
Thanks for all the input. I do believe I will do some serious looking for the best price now that I've heard your opinions. I spent the entire day cutting and my back is killing me, can't help but think how much easier it would have been with the AccuQuilt. Now where did I put that lottery ticket....

I absolutely love mine and it gives much more time to sew instead of messing around cutting. Small learning curve and actually wastes very little material. I bought the hard to cut dies first, dresden, appliques, drunkards path, weding ring, etc. I have done quilts I would never have attempted because the difficult cutting is easy with the Accuquilt GO. One suggestion is to break in your dies by cutting only 2 layers at a time, even though you can do 6 layers I wouldn't try it with that many layers at first.

I agree with fettertim. I love my alto quilt cut 2. I use it all the time. The problem I see with the accuquilt is that in order to do a lot of the shapes you need to buy the additional forms (can't think of the correct name) and they are not inexpensive.

I love mine.!! Got it about a week ago and have used it every day since. I bought the 3- 2 1/2 strips cutting die and mat. I cut the strips then turn and wala you have 2 1/2 inch squares. I bought mine on amazon.com for $195.00. It comes with a die cut and a mat. That was a real bonus. My total with the 2 1/2 strip die cut and mat $257.00 free shipping! The mat does seem to wear more than I thought so I concentrate on rotating the mat end for end and upside down.
