Do any of you have and use.....
 

the quick cutter 2? I think that is the name of it. It holds your fabric in place while you cut it. It also has an arm on it so that you can cut angles easily. I saw one at a quilt show a couple of years ago. I couldn't afford it then. But, I have been looking for one to purchase now. Do any of you have one or recommend it? And, what exactly is it called?

I think you are referring to the Alto's Quilt Cut 2. Mine needs fixed, but many others love theirs.

My friend has one and loves it. I would love one but am too cheap to spend the money for it. If I find one at the right price for me - look out!

Yes, that is the one. Yours is broken? Are they flimsy? I'm hoping there will be a representative at this year's Miller Bowie Quilt Show so I can get one.

I have looked at them several times, with the room they take up and the cost, I decided that my ruler, rotary cutter, and cutting mat make more since for me. I just go slow and careful. Maybe if I had a hard time holding my ruler, cutter, or had trouble controlling my fabric, I would be more interested.

I have one and love it and use it all the time.

I have one and love it ,use it all the time,To me lots better than Accu-Quilt go, I got rid of that

I love mine so much I bought 1 more for the other room :) bought the second one used off of craigslist for $30

No, they are not flimsy, but I bought mine used, and it turns out I paid too much, because the cutting mat is shot, and the ruler you cut against will not lay straight and line up with the mark at the top. I called the company this time last year and was told there was a problem with some of the Quilt Cuts which were converted to the Quilt Cut 2 (which mine is). The rep was very nice and offered to "sell" me an new Quilt Cut 2 for $100 plus shipping, if I send him the "broken" one, so they can take it out of circulation. I intended to do that at that time, but it was the holidays, busy, and it just didn't happen. Now I need to get in gear and do it. Once you add the $100 to the price I already paid for the one I have, it's at least as much as just buying a new one in the first place would have been.

Is this what you are talking about http://www.quiltcut.com

I have the Original Alto's Quilt Cut. I have recently rearranged my sewing room and have an extra table. So I leave it set up all the time. No this is not flimsy. I didn't use it when I first got it because of not having a more permanent place to put it--didn't want to handle it too much because it is heavy.
I do like it very much.

I have one and love it. It stores needing very little space. I have mine under the TV cabinet in my living room and have hidden it well. If I had more space it would always be out ... and sometimes it does seem that way. I definitely is not flimzy. Another website is: www.sewez.com

For JustAbitCrazy: take yours to a show where they have a booth. You should get immediate service without mailing/shipping anything.

I have one. It's quality made and heavy, I don't tote it around anywhere. You'll get more use out of it if it is on a table that is accessible on both sides. The new ones are now in color and very pretty. My mat has held up for years. I need to buy a new mat as it is looking it's age.

I have one. I really like it. The only problem I see, is that right now it is being used to stack things on. I have too much clutter right now. And I don't like where I have it. I need to find a better place in my sewing studio to keep it set up all the time. I tend to forget I have it. But it does do a wonderful job of cutting straight, without getting that dip in your straight cuts. It really works great for cutting charm squares and anything that you need to cut in different directions without having to shift the fabric. I think it is well worth the money.

I have one and love it, too. I have very weak hands/arms, and it make for more accurate cutting and ease for me! It's a great size also. Mine is the white one.

I will have to look that up. Sounds quite interesting.

When I got my Go I use the AltoQuilt Cut to cut fabric pieces from yardage to go on the die. The most important feature for me about the Alto is the safety factor when cutting. It's safe for my granddaughter to use.

I bought one after searching high and low for a good price on a used one and didn't like it. Took up too much space. Too clumsy to me. Sold it on ebay. Waste of money IMO.

I have had the Alto's QuiltCut2 for years, and couldn't live without it. It stays on my sewing table, I never have stored it, if I need the table for something else, I just put it on my bed. My son got me a new mat for it last Mother's Day, never had any problems with mine. Was worth every penny!

I have mine set up ... use it a LOT....love love love it. Worth the price and years of use .

I've had mine for years and love it....now the mats could be better, I've replaced mine a couple of times...For the price I would think that they could come up with a better mat, otherwise, I absolutely love mine!

I have one and rarely use it, because I can't cut the WOF with it. I have to fold the WOF in half. It's easier to use the rotary cutter.

Same here. It IS my cutting mat. If the mat gets worn (as all mats do over time), it can be replaced, but I haven't worn mine out yet.

Thanks for posting this question. I had not seen it before. If you decide to buy it, be sure to give us a report on how you like it.

I have one and I LOVE IT!! It makes cutting multiple strips and shapes SO EASY!! If you can afford it, I would strongly recommend you purchase this...

I love mine use it daily and it is not the least bit flimsy. Once you decide to "bite the bullet" you will be glad you did....

I have one and LOVE it! It is great for cutting strips and the way you can angle the ruler to make 45 degree cuts, etc. is fabulous. They are not flimsy at all and when the mat wears out you can get a replacement.

I absolutely love mine. My piecing has improved a lot since I have started using mine.

I have a friend who has one and she swears by it. Says its fast, accurate, and she cuts so much more fabric in less time. I plan to get one before the years end. The reference above by Dottymo is great video of the Alto.

Never seen one of these before or maybe I have and just havent paid attention. Looks like a nice item to have if cost isnt a factor. maybe one day.

they are not flimsy at all-very accurate for many types of cutting.they have videos showing how easy they are to use.I do not use mine all the time but love it.
