Attention Accuquilt Studio owners
Accuquilt's 2 sister sites, Accucut (original company - Education dies) and Accucut Craft (paper crafting dies) are having their annual 50% off sales.
In addition to dies for their targeted customers, both sites offer lots of simple shapes that can be used for applique, or you could start a new hobby (just what you need).

I used to think the dies were expensive too until I cut out an entire quilt queen size quilt in a little over an hour and an king size DWR quilt in about an hour and a half. (That did not include the ironing of the fabric.) Then it suddenly become worth twice what I paid for it. (But I also won't buy them unless they are on sale and I get free shipping.)

No, the dies on these sites will only fit the Accuquilt Studio
The paper won't dull the blades. I had the Accucut Grande Mark (same unit as the Studio) a good 15 years before I started quilting and before Accuquilt was split off & dedicated to quilting. I have literally cut tens of thousands of paper items on some of my dies for my paper business. With the exception of the foam cover, these dies are the same ones printers use to create die cut items, and they cut lots!

I don't own one, but we have an ancient accucut at school. I am sure they have been used thousands and thousands of times to cut paper. The foam is kinda messed up some of them are so old. I recently used it to cut some fabric and they worked fine.

Accucraft and Accueducation dies are for the large cutter (AccuQuilt Studio = GrandeMark), so they are thicker and heavier because they are made out of wood, foam, and the metal blades vs the Go/Go Baby/Go Electric dies which are thinner and made out of plastic, foam, and metal blades.
The metal blades hold up quite well in both.
