Also got several fat quarters as testers for this learning curve. It's my birthday present to myself. That and with my hands having arthritis, this should make cutting more enjoyable and faster.

I ordered the Alto Quilt Cut 2 this am. With my problem of my left shoulder dropping when I try to do long cuts, decided it was a nice addition to my quilting room and equiptment.
It will be nice to have a cutting instrument where the ruler stays put!
It will be coming from the state of Washington so about a week UPS.
When I spoke to the person on the phone yesterday I asked how heavy it was - boxed 18 pounds. More bulk than actual weight as it is approx 20 x 28 for overall size.
I do have a large table for cutting in my sewing room. One side will be the Quilt Cut 2 other side the ACCUQUILT GO for shapes other than straight cuts.

The 5 inch squares did fine, 5 inches. Guess I did something right lol. The instructions that are given with the unit, show how to find length of fabric by snapping it. I was showing a friend from the local Quilt Guild P&P who dropped by, and allowed her to try it out also. She was courious as to how it would cut. She turned the handle, I pushed the die.
I have another die coming in the mail this coming week, the 6 - 2 inch squares. I want to get the Tumbler die next. Saw a video on it, seems to be a larger piece that you need to use strips that barely cover the die for less fabric waste.
Thank you.
