There's a thread here somewhere about Accuquilt and there is another system called the Fiskars Fuse that is designed to work with lots of different dies, with their adapter sets.
I don't have any of them myself, but am considering an Accuquilt cutter for cutting things like circles and rag quilt blocks.

I have tried most all die cutter machines even the newest ones that are digital. Any national quilt show will have then all ready to try out. I like the Accuquilt best. If you have wasted fabric you aren't using it right. That goes for any of the die cut machines.

I use the sizzix big shot pro and can use accuquilt dies as well as sizzix dies. The go dies have to be shimmed but are no problem and I recently got a couple accuquilt studio dies and can use those as well with a little care. (Not sure I could use really long studio dies, the ones I got are relatively short.).
The thing is that dies as well as cutter are expensive so you only want to get ones that you will use regularly.

You know....I don't think I've ever seen Accuquilt at a show. I went to the PIQF last year and I don't recall seeing them there; that's the largest quilt show I've been to. I'll be going again this year, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled! It's possible they were there last year and I just missed them; I wasn't in the market for a die cutting system at all last year so they weren't on my radar.
