I’ve been going crazy with orders at the significantly reduced prices. I should be set for a while even if it takes them some time to figure out a new business plan.

It will take a while for the change to take place and balance out. So in the mean time I will continue to watch and order what I need. Accuquilt is a game changer for quilting. Cutting out goes so fast and so accurate. Love it!

I have bought a lot this month and all I made need is some mats to fit what I bought. I always forget about that. If what you have as far as a mat, could you use two to cover the die? Why Not?

Hey All, appreciate this AQ info.

Have AQ & web notice , Today Only sale . A disclaimer - Not affilaited.

It will be obvious with this inquiry...listed price of the die is " $99.00.
Then next die is $1.00 [[ one dollar USD ]] ?

With 99% off on second die...noticing the AQ Qubes are not on offer ; for now

Hesitating on buying the strip die offer because (at this time, do not have dedicated sew area) .
For the AQ electric cut which is THE method to accommodate length.*
Will the mats will be on a special offer ? Just thinking out loud.

Anyway, grateful for what I am able to do now.

Really, really appreciative for communication and observations
of the QB .
* I did see the demonstration at a Quilt Show two years ago
. Without the electric model. my arms and shoulders will quit

Mats eventually wear out and have to be replaced. You probably could use two in a pinch IF they both will fit, but most likely you will not get a clean cut and will have to cut the remaining threads and I think there is a danger of the one of the mats moving a tad and giving you an inaccurate cut. It would be much better in my opinion to just get the right sized matts. I usually got mine on sale and/or when I needed to spend a bit more to get the free shipping. I think over the years, I have had to replace 4-5 of the mats and got a supply of all sizes I need during one of the pre-christmas sales.

The sale this morning of Buy one get one for 99% off is for Go dies, Qubes, Bundles and Accessories. Some mats are in stock, mostly the Go Big dies.

I have spend so much with these sales that are happening. I received the 10" Qube today and have 3 more packages on the way. I am running out of space for dies so I hope I have all I want for some time until the new owners works out the kinks.

Onebyone 12-30-2021 05:47 PM

I bought enough to keep me very busy. New dies are coming this month too.

sewingsuz 12-30-2021 08:50 PM

I ordered the mats I need but only one of the sizes I needed was the bogo99. I still got 63 dollars off and thank you girls for telling me about the sale.

Where are you finding these significantly reduced prices? I just looked at AccuQuilt.com for the electric GoBig model and it is at the original price of $699.

The promotions/sale prices have been changing on a daily basis for the past week or so. The best sale for the cutters was 4-7 days ago, then a one or two-day sale on the dies/die bundles. Today's sale prices are the weakest I've seen since Christmas.

Emails were sent every day of the sales and codes to use for bigger % off if you were signed up to receive emails from Accuquilt. Also lots of posts on social media about the sales too.

A new die is being presented this week. If you sign up you are registered to maybe win the die and other prizes or buy it at a discount the day of the video. Watch the video on their website live or you tube later. I won fat quarter tower and forgot about watching the video. I got an email saying I won. Sign up is free.

I guess I'll check my mats. I've got way too many dies. I've pretty well given up on AccuQuuilt. I've gotten notices of sales and when I go to the site, use the required code it's not honored. I've gotten a bit miffed with AccuQuilt over the years. They never marked dies I do own so I end up having to return duplicate orders, haven't given e points numerous times.

DrosieD 01-02-2022 05:46 PM

I'm pretty well done with AccuQuilt. I've tried ordering a few things with the various sales recently and the codes aren't honored. In the past few years I've had problems with their website. Somehow I was stuck in a loop between PayPal and AccuQuilt. It took them well over a year to fix the problem and my fussing more times than I should have. I've got dies I bought from them that they never note owning so I've had to send back dies. The last one I sent the information to them, got an email back they wanted more information after I sent ALL the information. They've not given me points several times over the earlier years. I'm done. Other than ordering mats that's it.

Maybe these problems are why the co. was recently sold?
