This is just awesome to hear! I ordered mine yesterday and should have it tomorrow! My rotary cutting accuracy sometimes leaves much to be desired as I've been having some tenderness in my shoulder and elbow. This will be a big help. I'm wondering if it's possible that rheumatoid arthritis could be hereditary. My poor mother suffered terribly with this.

OK...glad to know that I'm NOT the only one. So far I've mostly used the 2.5 inch strip die to 'slice and dice' my solid stash to use in 'modern' quilts. BUT I just ordered the 8.5 inch rag die tonight from Amazon so I'm going to be doing baby flannels SOON.

Is there a 12 step program for us?

is the accu quilt just for applique?

Krystyna

No, no, no! At the moment I've been using the die that has two sizes of squares and a half square triangle.
I just finished cutting out hexagons -- the die has three sizes -- soooo easy!
And there is a tumbler one, and well, all sorts. It really makes cutting pieces a snap.
If there is a bit left over on the piece I've cut from, I trim off the teeny bits and run it through to cut a smaller piece!
Virtually no waste!

If there is, I'm not going to meetings unless they let us bring our machines!

Do these machines cut shapes too? Like hearts, flowers, etc?

lol - me too. Got mine for Christmas - and every time I take it out, there goes a couple of hours. Worth EVERY penny in my humble opinion. Problem is - I'm slowly going broke - just gotta have ONE MORE die......

Krystyna

Yes! All sorts of amazing shapes. It depends on what dies you order.

Cheerio, Sewforless.com has them on sale for $199. I know that is a chunk of money for many of us but it's a good price, I think. Better than the $349 list price.
