I have been shopping and looking and re-looking at the accuquilt and the sissix fabric cutter. I'm wondering what you ladies have? I was in touch with a member that had a sissix and can't remember her name. I believe she was from Calfornia. If you read this would you please post me a note. Thank you so very much.

All the blocks seem to be on the dies at an angle. The video states to load with the long side of the grain, but then they seem to turn the fabric to the same angle as the die - is that right, or should the fabric be straight and the die at an angle?

I tried the Ohio star and I'm getting stretching going straight......

keep the fabric even with the metal of the die

Why are you wanting your pieces cut at an angle? So much harder to deal with when they are.

the dies are at an angle to reduce damage of repeated cutting.

The pieces are not at an angle. The fabric is straight but the die is at an angle as it goes through.
