Could you have your sister call me or send me her directions for using the larger machine and cutting out the material.. I would love to know exactly how she does it. I have an idea that it would save a lot of time. However, I do not know what an accu cut is.. Is this a new machine that you can buy at a clothing fabric shop? I am not familar with. I must be the one that sounds stupid but I have never heard of this... I guess I am out of the loop and have been for a while.. I want to know more about short cuts for quilts and make them beautiful.. Thanks for all your help..
