I have the Alto Quilt 2. It's very well made. I still have trouble getting exact same size with every cut. You have a thin metal guide to line up next to the fabric edge and getting it in the exact same place for each cut is not happening for me.

I would love an accuquilt, but I know the expense of the machine to begin with and then I would want all the dies to go with it.

jhittlesewing.com has Accucut Go for 244.00, and it comes with 3 dies & no shipping charge. The other dies range from 17.49 to 55.00. No shipping charge if you spend at least 100.00. Good, fast service. No tax if you don't live in KY.
Check out their sales the week you buy for other things you might need/want to take advantage of not paying the shipping charges. |
I have the Accuquilt Go as well. I adore this machine and it not only saves me time but pain in cutting them out. They have just come out with a Baby Go that's less expensive and smaller but some of the original dies work. Tons of video's on YouTube to show you how to maximize the material using this machine.

So far I have used it to square up the blocks on my current project. It is the Alto's Quiltcut 2, I paid $234.00 (that is with shipping). This is the only cutting system I have. I use my rotary cutter with it and off I go. I don't need all those fancy shapes, squares, rectangles and strips are fancy enough for me. :) |

I also have the Alto's Quiltcut 2. I bought it last month. I have made hexagons with it, and am currently using it to cut out the pieces to a tote bag. I love it! No dies to purchase, and less fabric is wasted.
