What to purchase?
#1
I have accumulated some cash to spend on quilting this holiday season. And can't make up my mind as to what I want to buy. I have enough to get the EQ7 or the AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter or the Simplicity Fabric Strip Cutter. What to do? What to do?
I am not an artsy quilter, but love to make all kinds of quilts and things. Don't know that I would use the EQ7 to it's fullest, but would it help me that much with original quilts -- photos turned into quilts or landscape quilts? (I am very computer literate and am married to a guy that can help me if I get stuck; so no concerns there.)
AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter would be helpful with accurate cutting of triangles and other applique shapes, but I see the dies as a real budget killer.
The Simplicity Fabric Strip Cutter does not seem to be real sturdy or stress free. And I usually can cut my strips accurately.
So now that I have written this out, it appears that my choices are really between the EQ7 or the AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter.
Which would you chose and why? I am so torn. Thanks for any help you can give me....

I guess it comes down to what you think you'll use more. Are you on the computer a lot? Do you think you'd enjoy spending hours designing your own quilts? I imagine the satisfaction of going from designing to completion would be awesome. On the other hand, the accuquilt cutter would be helpful for extremely precise cutting. Boy, you really do have a decision to make! Good Luck and enjoy whichever you choose.

I love the AccuQuilt Fabric Cutter - it makes making a quilt so easy and fun...and very quick. I like how it does not need to be plugged in and no computers involved...just simple and easy.
