Im a gadget gal and i do love my gadgets but I won't spring for that. I don't do nearly enough cutting to justify purchasing that But it looks good for a quilt shop.

It doesn't require a mat.

I love these for home dec sewing where there are extremely long cuts with many layers.

I did too and that is why I found one on Ebay for $20!!!!

I'd like to see a video demo. Looks bulky. Wonder how it handles.

no reviews on the site but has any one bought this and if so how does it relate to quilting?

Looks good, BUT (and you know it's a BIG one). Who has used it, is it really light weight, does it really self sharpen (really good), what is the cost of running it day to day (elect., bats., etc....), what is the cost of replacement parts, etc....????? Is it worth it's price? Sorry just like a new car, I'm not buying the first year it comes out - too many BUGS still. And this little guy?? It looks cool and all, but I'm going to hold off on dropping that kind of money. Will be watching .

I have a difficult time enough using the regular rotarys, let alone something as this!! I'd have to pass. Maybe you would have better luck!

This is a stationary cutter, isn't it? Mounted on a table? You move the fabric under the knife.

Yeah, me too. I can't tell whether you move the fabric ubder it or use it like a traditional rotary cutter. Seams like with that much cutting power it would go right through a mat!

This would not work with rulers for cutting quilt pieces. It's meant for cutting out paper/cardstock type patterns...for clothing manufacturers, purse makers, etc., not practical for quilting.

My husband's Aunt used to have them for cutting out stacks of halter tops, bathing suits, shorts, etc., in their clothing manufacturing shop. They made stuff for Budwiser company (they lived in ST Louis).
