I have a Silhouette Cameo which cuts lots of stuff (paper, cardstock,vinyl, fabric with a paperbacked fused stablizer on it) which pretty much limits it to applique for me. I also have the Accuquilt GoBig and love it --most of my quilts are pieced so that works great and I would recommend that for someone like me that sometimes has accuracy issues with cutting. I do know that some major stores have laser cutters (Keepsake, etc) but imagine they are very expensive.

Learned again, never assume-laser is not a good option. I definitely will go with a cutting blade, but want one I can use with Electric Quilt. Save a block to a jpg, pdf, etc & load it to the cutter either from web or usb. Thanks for your responses

There is a LQS near me that has a laser. They sell appliqué kits that they design in house. I talked to her about it one day. She told me there is a huge amount of waste and is only worthwhile if you are cutting many multiples of the same thing.

In EQ, if you have a .pdf printer installed, you can change the print settings in EQ to print to the .pdf printer. Choose your appliqué, print appliqué, and then in the Silhouette Studio software, import the file as a vector. Easy Peasy. However, it will require an upgraded version of the Silhouette Studio software. I have the Business version; I'm not sure which version you'd need to upgrade to in order to import .pdf's as vector images.
