    I would love to hear some opinions on the various cutting machines--Accuquilt, Sissix, Slice Fabrique. There are probably more of them. All of them seem to come with a variety of accessories and it looks like the price keeps spiraling upward! Are they worth it? How do they compare? The more I read, the more comfused I become :-(

    Please do a search on the various brands using the search icon above. This has been discussed numerous times, so there's lots of info!

    I have the sizzix and really like it. I am waiting for their quilting dies to be back in stock, but I love the way it works. You have to choose for yourself. Me I chose sizzix because it was a little cheaper for me. I got the smaller machine. I want to get the big one day, but we'll see. My MIL has the cricut, but haven't tried it out yet

    i prefer digital cutters because i can use it for scrapbooking, vinyl wall art, vinyl car art, heat transfer on clothing and fabric, and of course for quilting.

    i use the silhouette.

    We have a quilter in our guild with sever arthrites in her hands and she loves her cutter I think it is a cricut but it does a great job she brought it to a sew in and we could not keep up with it.
