Thanks, I've been looking at them for awhile. I was thinking no taxes and free shipping might make it worthwhile. I know how to precut fabric to get the least waste and all that. I used one a few times before. I have to convince my dh that this is good investment and not just something I'll play with for a little bit and sit it on the shelf. We both tend to be very frugal and run all major purchases by each other before we splurge.
