I've had mine almost 2 years and don't work on a quilt without it! I need to replace the cutting mat, so I'm thinking I'll attach an Olfa mat instead of buying the "Alto" mat.
Hope you enjoy using it!

I don't know how you get the same size cut when cutting more then one strip using the Alto. I even used a magnifying glass to make darn sure I had the guide exactly in the same spot on the cutting line between cuts. I thought it was the guide maybe being defective so I got a new one. I still get different size cuts.

When it comes to anything quilting neither of my daughter would dare say anything I buy,except too much fabric. Neither one has any interest in sewing . I tried to teach but no interest in it. I love my Alto 2 and I use it soooooo much my cutting surface has a lot of ridges on it. Its only 3 years old and I use it a lot. They are worth the money. :) :) :-)

I purchased my Alto Quilt Cut 2, 2 weeks ago at a quilt store in Bend, Oregon. It is great! I love it! Cut the shapes and angles you want, no wasted fabric. :-)
I looked at the 'Go', but the cost of the different cutting disks was a turn off - I'd rather save the money for fabric. Then there was the loss of fabric..... another turn off.
I hope this helps!

Without having read all the posts yet..has anyone used this system and also the fiskars with the attached blade? I have the fiskars and sometimes have trouble with it but is the quilt cut 2 better enough to invest? Also is it small and light enough to put away and just get out when I need to use it?
