I paid $1200 for mine (bread & butter starter kit) but now that I know more, I wish I had gotten just the cutter at a deal like this price and then bought only the dies that I wanted and needed. I have had my accuquilt for a few months now and some of my dies in the starter kit have yet to be opened. I have ordered several though that didn't come in the set. I only buy the dies when they are on sale. They have 2 new items on sale each day. Hope this helps.

and I love my accuquilt studio!

The sizzix big shot pro will allow you to cut several pieces of fabric at once. I bought the Westminster version on overstock for 240. It is similar to the studio but does not allow the use of the biggest studio dies.

Oh, I was at a quilt show not long ago and watched a demo, I would have sworn they said it did. I will have to check into it further. I would love to have one of these.
It cuts up to 6 layers, you can watch patsy tompsons videos, she cuts six layers

a good price for this ??
I have been watching the prices for a while. $395 is the lowest that I have seen. I missed the last sale and bought mine when the strip cutter starter set was on sale. I estimate that the cutter portion of the price was about $414.

I saw it on sale too, but I'm still dreaming about it. I did read the specifics on it from the website and the studio cutter weighs 55lbs! So I'm thinking it's going to have to be placed in the location it will need to stay. In other words if I bought it, I would have to have an area that was designated only for the studio.
