Did getting an AccuQuilt help you make quilt patterns you never considered before?

I have not tried the specialty dies, but I bought the 2 1/2 strip die and it buckled even though I have stored it as recommended. I am unable to use this die now. What a waste of money. I love the other dies that I have tried

I am currently working on the DWR following Ebony Love's tute. Works great. I made a DWR prior without the cutter and it is much easier with the cutter. I also use the cutter to cut my hexie pieces. That works really great. I have a number of dies I haven't used yet, but they are on my bucket list. I am glad I purchased the machine. It is also great to use to cut up scraps - 2 1/2" sqs, 5" sqares, tumblers. I then make scrap quilts from the scraps.

I have the GO and it has definitely encouraged me to try patterns that I might have avoided because of the cut being so imperative to getting it right. I have many dies and would love to have some of the new ones, but right now the expense is something I can live without. The GO is definitely worth every penny and I use it on just about every project. It is particularly helpful with applique pieces; i.e. the daisy, circles, funky flower. baby duck and baby bear. The daisy die has leaves and stems included, sure helps.

My poor strip die has been stepped on, dropped, stored anyway it would fit, left in hot car, cold car, and even dropped in a mud puddle. It still cuts just fine. I would definitely contact Accuqquilt and find out why it buckled for no reason.
