Any Accu-Quilt Specials Coming Up? I haven't received any emails in a long time.

I just got a Fuse recently and I'm very happy with it. Just cut a whole bunch of raggy denim circles last night in a tiny fraction of the time it'd have taken to do them by hand! (And that includes picking all the fibers out of the die afterwards) I had to experiment to find the perfect shims but I'm set now. I use the Sizzix big shot acrylic sheet and a sheet of .0925 thick acrylic from the local OSH under the Accuquilt dies and it's *perfect*.

Oh, I want to make some denim blocks. What I'll do is, order dies, have my mom get me the Fiskar Fuse for Christmas, dies will be here, Boom. Christmas day, I'll be ready....I might do that. I receive email from Accuquilt.

Right now they are pushing the electric Go. I think the dies have fallen away as far as sales go. Check out Ebay, there is a seller there that sells all the dies for about a third less than MSRP. It is Sylviasbitsandpieces . I have purchased several dies from her with no problems.

Fuse dies are nothing to write home about. Boring. Too big. No flexibility.
But....the lovely part.....the Fuse accepts most other dies (with adapters). The Sizzix works great in it, so does Accuquilt. And Spellbinders, Tim Holtz, and other paper dies.
I love mine so much that I bought two. I have one upstairs for paper cutting/cards, and the other downstairs for fabric cutting with Accuquilt dies. It was getting too annoying only having one machine. It seemed like whichever project I wanted to work on, the machine was in the other location. And it's too heavy to haul up and down stairs all that often.
