Wish I hadn't bought it!
Squares and triangles do not cut accurate all the time. Look for you cuts being 1/8 off and it's a big deal when trying to put together quilt pieces! Eats through mats like crazy and once the mat is used up the cuts are crazy off, so be sure you stock up on plenty of mats! The strip dies and shape dies like the cat and dog one are the only ones that give you half-way decent cuts. Wastes a lot of fabric with inaccurate cuts. There is also a lot of prep work, for the fabric, before you can use it and it still doesn't cut accurate. I've joined groups, watched a bunch of videos and read almost every blog out there to try and make this thing do what it is suppose to do, which is give you accurate shapes, for making quilts, and even the "experts" on this say it isn't perfect every time! Waste of money! Save yourself some aggravation and just use a rotary cutter. You'll get better results and spend less time trying to match your pieces up.
