If I did not have the Accuquilt than I would sometimes quilt..but since I have the Accuquilt I make a quilt every other week. If I did not have a full time job I would make even more. I started with the Go and loved it...but wanted to make some of the larger shapes and cut more at a time so I bought the Studio...I figure I have another 20 years at least to quilt so in the end the cost will be very little...I will pass it down to the next quilter in the family someday.

I haven't yet decided if I want to get another cutter so I still have the dies (other than the value die which is with the cutter). I have no doubt that this cutter and the sizzix (which is what I want) are well worth it. I'm just not sure I'd use them enough to justify the cost and space they take up.

our Auxiliary is making lap robes for a nursing home residents
The Accuquilt cutter is so nice. I have the 2 1/2 in strip cutter and have ordered the 5 and 6/12 in. block cutter . Hopefully we can get 120 lap robes made real soon.

As for the cost - I knew I wanted it for ever and found some really good deals on EBay. The store that I have found with some of the best deals on individual dies, die sets and GO! Machines (and almost always with extra freebies like a bottle of Best Press etc) has been the Seller/Store: QuiltingWithCricket2010. (No Affiliation - just sharing my experience for your benefit).
The sales she has sometimes as well - are just stellar! Several months ago she had EQ7 up for around $150 brand new, and specials come up with her all the time, usually a massive selection as well. When I got my GO from her - I paid $220 and got a free bottle of Best Press along with it... far cheaper than you can buy the GO almost anywhere else, so you might want to check out and see what they are offerring now. Seriously - buy the GO! it was the best investment I made to support my sewing/quilting addiction!
Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

I use my Accuquilt Studio for cutting mostly geometrics and strips. I don't do applique. My hands and back are shot and rotary cutting hurts so much after I am done I can't sew for a few days, but the Studio does so much work fast and doesn't give me pain so I love it.
