Has anyone used the Altos cutting system? I have a few pics of my attached. I just love it!

Not as often as I should.

That is solo cool! Hate my fabric ides when I try to cut it! Where did u get it.? Is it expensive.

I have it and I love it. Fabric doesn't move, ruler doesn't move. Much more accurate cuts.

I bought mine last week, and it was a little over $200.

LOVE MINE!!!!! And in the new house, I will have a place for it stay out all of the time. So I am sure that I will get LOTS more use out of it.

I've had mine for about 13 years...I can't really cut without it.

I've posted my problem with this before. Unless I put the metal gauge in the exact same place on the fabric every time I cut I get cuts that are not exact from one cut to the next. If the bottom of the fabric is not lined up perfectly exactly straight on the mat line I get the V when cutting strips. I was spending more time getting the fabric in place and lining up the gauge to the exact spot it was taking me a long time to make one cut. What am I doing wrong?

I have this system and use it all the time. It is always set up and ready to be used.

I bought one last fall and I LOVE it. In fact I talked my sister into getting one . She got it today and she is already in love with it. I used to hate cutting fabric, could never cut straight. Now I enjoy cutting and my cutting is much more accurate. I would hate to be without it. I ordered mine directly from their website. It cost $209 plus shipping , which I think was about $26.00. Well worth it.

I just purchased on, have a station in my design room to have it set up all the time. Sounds like i am going to enjoy using this. Thanks for the info :D

Click on demo to see the video demo. It was about 209.00 when I bought it, don't know if that has changed. It does so many different cuts, for me it's well worth the cost.

If I understand your problem correctly, the cutting guide has a black dot that you line the metal gauge to for the size of the cut you want. After you make the first cut you line the gauge itself to the edge after each cut. Oh... I am so bad at explaining, I hope this helps. You should watch thier video a few times and see if that will help with your problem.

I had the Alto vendor show me how to cut and use the guide. She told me I was trying to be too exact. It was okay for my cuts to be a smidgen off. They are more like 1/8" off. I use the mat and board but not the guide anymore.
