Stocking Up

Congratulations on your purchase! I bought one almost five years ago. The ones I use most are for hexagons (love hand sewing them in the evening) and the tumbler block. Be sure you review the products you buy if you buy directly from Accuquilt. You'll accumulate points and eventually will get a free product.

I don't find much waste---frankly no more than if I was using my rotary cutter. Some people do more "precutting" to fit the die, but I just accordion fold for the number of layers (6-8 max) and then let the extra fabric be at the side (folded to make it easier to go through the cutter)and unless it's between the die and mat, it won't cut that fabric.

I don't think there is much waste. Like quiltingshorttimer there isn't any more than when I use my rotary cutter and I accordion the fabric too. When I am making certain pieces and using different fabric for different pieces (like the DWR die) then I will fussy cut but I can use my rotary cutter to get those pieces and then the die cuts all those curves.
