I just finished a pin wheel quilt that I cut out with my Accuquilt Studio. It was such a wonderful experience sewing perfectly cut HST. And I love cutting strips for boarders! It was very expensive but I don't regret it at all! As careful as I try to cut with a template or ruler, it always slides. And you can cut out about 10 layers at one time. I cut some 2 1/2 strips for my sister in law really quickly and they were all accurate. The reason I bought the Studio model was because it is better quality. You can also get dies on E-bay or watch for sales at Accuquilt. I never pay full price.
