I've had mine for years and love it....now the mats could be better, I've replaced mine a couple of times...For the price I would think that they could come up with a better mat, otherwise, I absolutely love mine!

I have one and rarely use it, because I can't cut the WOF with it. I have to fold the WOF in half. It's easier to use the rotary cutter.

Same here. It IS my cutting mat. If the mat gets worn (as all mats do over time), it can be replaced, but I haven't worn mine out yet.

Thanks for posting this question. I had not seen it before. If you decide to buy it, be sure to give us a report on how you like it.

I have one and I LOVE IT!! It makes cutting multiple strips and shapes SO EASY!! If you can afford it, I would strongly recommend you purchase this...

I love mine use it daily and it is not the least bit flimsy. Once you decide to "bite the bullet" you will be glad you did....

I have one and LOVE it! It is great for cutting strips and the way you can angle the ruler to make 45 degree cuts, etc. is fabulous. They are not flimsy at all and when the mat wears out you can get a replacement.

I absolutely love mine. My piecing has improved a lot since I have started using mine.

I have a friend who has one and she swears by it. Says its fast, accurate, and she cuts so much more fabric in less time. I plan to get one before the years end. The reference above by Dottymo is great video of the Alto.
