I have been shopping and looking and re-looking at the accuquilt and the sissix fabric cutter. I'm wondering what you ladies have? I was in touch with a member that had a sissix and can't remember her name. I believe she was from Calfornia. If you read this would you please post me a note. Thank you so very much.

I tried the Ohio star and I'm getting stretching going straight......

the dies are at an angle to reduce damage of repeated cutting.

The pieces are not at an angle. The fabric is straight but the die is at an angle as it goes through.
