    Judy,
    You will love it. My eyesight is not the best anymore, and trying to cut stright lines was not working for me, but with the acuquit my pieces are all the same now and it is great.

    I would love one but can't justify the cost just now. I have a friend that has one so maybe I'll try hers

    Great free patterns from accuquilt!

    I purchased the die set that makes 12" blocks and the mix and match book that has patterns that only uses those dies so that you don't have to do any other cutting of shapes OR wishing for other dies just to finish a pattern.

    BUT I purchased my die set from sewnvac online because it was cheaper and they have coupons

    I bought mine over labor day weekend when they were $199. The first die I used was the large tumbler block. Even though I rotated all around it literally wore out my mat. I e-mailed Accu-Quilt and they sent me a new one! You can't ask for better service than that! This time my mat is marked 1-2-3-4 on one side and a - b - c - d on the other side so I can be positive I run the mat through all eight positions.

    I bought some dies at 25% off at JoAnns but the strip dies I'm getting from sew n vac because they are so much cheaper. Even with the 25% off at JoAnns it is more than purchasing and paying for shipping with sew n vac. (No affiliation)

    I just printed out a list of the dies. and I don't see a 1-1/2 square just a 1-1/2 sq. triangle. But I got a new e-mail and they have alot of new dies. also if you go to www.shoppersrule.com they have a 15 % off sale going on the dies. Also you give them a price you want to pay and if they accept you get it at that price. If they don't they will come back with the price they well take. this is where I get all my dies.
    I have had my go for about 3 years and I really love it . it's great for those odd shapes that are buggers to cut.
    I just ordered more dies like I really need them Hee Hee it's my Christmas present to me for me. kjym
