Is on my wish list... I have a friend that lets me use hers... I love it!!
|
I have heard they;re overrated and waste fabric. I dont have one and dont have trouble cutting my fabric myself so Ill probably not ever have one.

Hi and welcome from NE Ohio. I just finished a quilt using my Accuquilt Go and found it to be so much faster.
|
I have the accuquilt Go and love it. Now I decided to sell it so I can upgrade to the sizzix BSP which cuts bigger and more layers. I don't have any waste at all. In fact many times I have about 1/4" waste when using it which is nothing and it is fast. I cut all my strips with it especially 2 1/5" then if I need 2 1/5" squares I turn the strip and cut the other way so u can get at least a hundred squares in one cut. It is an awesome cutter once you learn how to use it.

welcome to the board and happy quilting.
as others have said, money would be better spent on the basics of quilting. however, if money were no object for me, i would buy one of those. |
My DH bought the GO several years ago. I've used it to make one quilt. So far haven't been able to figure out how to cut and NOT waste a lot of fabric.

Hello,
I am new to quilting and would like to know your thoughts on the Acc-cut machine that Joann's Fabric sells. Thanks for the advice! Happy Thanksgiving! |
With any machine, there is a learning curve. I use a similar die cutting system for scrapbooking and have more money tied up in fancy dies than I care to think about. I think for a beginning quilter there are other supplies that I would invest in first like good scissors, rulers, cutting mat and rotary cutter and lots of spare blades.
Cheers, K |
If you are just beginning, it seems like a lot of money that could be spent on other things like fabric, rulers, thread, patterns, scissors, cutting mats, rotary cutters etc. but then, I don't have one, and have no plans to buy one.
