I have only used mine once or twice to cut 2.5 inch strips. I also have the drunkard path 7", and the rose of sharon. Want to add 5" square next. The 12 inch block mix and match someone mentioned sounds like a good one to invest in.

Have fun with your new tool! I don't have one so I guess I have to remain this color green for a while

There are several yahoo groups for die cutters-one of which also is a dealer with VERY GOOD discount....check it out....and have fun!!!!!

I'm so glad you started this topic. I looked through craigslist and found an accucut for a steal and figured that would be a nice way to see if I would even like an accuquilt without dropping too much money. I hope you enjoy yours!

Congrats. I'm envious but so happy for you. One of these days......... hopefully. But I've got so many other needs right now as far as my sewing supplies. Enjoy it. I'm all for anything that will help with the cutting accuracy.

I love my AccuQuilt Go! I have several of the dies, and love the way the fabrics line up to sew--especially the tumbler. Have fun with it.

I saved that much in not having fabric waste. I sewed my scraps together and re cut using different shape dies. I have all the dies except a few baby shape applique ones.

I really love mine:)

You turn the strips the opposite way, align them and cut them again. Voila! Some 1 1/2" squares!

This must be the time to get brave and purchase as I just ordered a Studio Bread and butter set!??? Can't wait to try it out but I'm really nervous about it?!? Thanks for posting this as I have learned a few tips but sure didn't understand the comment on the mat?!? Hope instructions are simple and easy?!?
