Of course, I have had SOOOOOOO much experience using it I no longer needed to put a piece of blue tape or even just mark off 2 1/2 inches with a sticky note or marker. Uh, Uh! Strangely, one strip was 2 inches! Do you think the kit came with another 2 1/2 inches of fabric allowing for "Too Smart to Mark!" mistakes!! I had to buy More fabric!
It must have heard me Muttering. Honestly, I did not throw it or stomp on it or even threaten to do so. I put it away in a SAFE PLACE. So safe I have never found it since and that was six months ago. I guess I will have to mutter about buying a new one. Without a doubt, it will make a INNOCENT appearance the moment I return home with a new one. AND I REALLY loved using it!
All the best with yours though. They do make cutting go much faster.

The Acquilt is the way to go if you are going to do any serious quilting. It is much easier on your wrists and make it's easy to cut strips, squares, diamonds or anything you want They are coming out often with new dies.

Any thoughts? Pros, cons, etc?
Thanks in advance.

I am still getting used to mine but it is terrific!!! I may even look into getting a larger one! :)
Thanks for the tip about putting the no-slip plastic on the back to keep it in place. The only concern I have is that it is made of flimsy plastic - too bad it isn't more firm and durable.
