Friends With AccuQuilt.... Benefits?
Y'all have heard of AccuQuilt, the ultimate fabric cutting system. What is it? Why would I want it, and it and is it worth the money? The AccuQuilt is a fabric die cutting system designed to make quilting easier and more enjoyable by providing a safe and efficient way to cut perfect pieces, every time.
I have been a prolific quilter since the late 1970's. That was BEFORE rotary cutting blades, rulers and cutting mats. My mom, who was NOT a quilter, was cutting 4" squares of double knit polyester for her churches Missionary Society. They could launder those polyester fabrics a gazillion times and the colors would never fade.
In the late 1980's, my dad was going through chemo, and we needed something for him to do. I found a four inch square (Olfa if I remember). I purchased a rather expensive (at the time) rotary cutter and mat for my folks to cut these four inch poly squares. Oh, I forgot to purchase (probably because I didn't have the money) for a ruler. No problem. Dad was using a METAL yard stick to cut those squares! What do you think happened to those blades? Yousa... I do have one of the quilts that my folks made. It is mostly made of squares of sheets and other unknown fabric contents.....Love it though my mom didn't want to make quilts since she grew up with them.
