Tried to give her addy, but mail won't accept it.Just Google & it will pop right up. Wondering if the holidays will bring even lower prices ? Just a thought. Does the machine come with any die? Check to see if the ones you buy extra will cut the size squares,strips & triangles you use most often in quilts.

You can't go wrong with the die cuts for the half square triangles, I use them all the time. However I don't have the strip cutters yet, so I can't comment on them, But I hear many positive comments on other boards. Hope this helps. |
