I love the 2 1/2" for cutting binding. Also really use the triangles. The cut is perfect and the match when piecing is accurate.

I use the 5 1/2 sq allot and critters...butterfly, dragonfly and lady bug...I use these for my labels...

I think the strip cutters are the bread and butter of this product. With strip cutters you can cut borders, bindings, sashings, squares, and diamonds. I probably use the 2 1/2" strip cutter the most because every quilt I make needs binding.
I absolutely love the applique dies. I have an embroidery machine and most of the applique dies have embroidery designs so you can do machine applique in your embroidery hoop, using the die cuts. I love doing applique this way.

Great Sandyl! Have fun.

One of my favorites is the raq cutter; makes rag quilting so much faster. I'd say go for the strip cutters; from strips you can cut blocks and triangles, and of course long strips for bindings, etc. I just got the tumbling one. I also have the ones that do animals and baby things to applique on the back of my rag quilts making it a reversible quilt.

Could you estimate about what you've paid for the individual dies? Are you mostly getting them off of Ebay? How about mats and other necessary accessories? I really want it for strip cutting and can't decide if it makes sense, frankly. I love the idea, my cuts aren't always super, but it is a lot of money, so far I've only done 4 applique blocks, altho I did like making them...:)

Yah for you! I love my cutter. I tend to buy dies that I would refuse to cut otherwise like the circles and the applique dies. I do have strip dies and I use the 2 1/2 strip the most.
