There are books using accuquilt dies you can purchase on the accuquilt website...

Do the 6 sets of dies you are asking about come with your machine purchase, or are you purchasing them in addition to the Accuquilt cutting machine?

The dies are an addition to the accuquilt. The accuquilt is on sale at Joannes for $199.99. The dies are 25% off, but I like the suggestion of buying them at Amazon or ebay. I will comparison shop before purchasing the dies. Thanks again for the help.

I really like the dies with rounded edges and odd shapes. Things that are slightly more challenging to cut by hand.

The large drunkards path is very good-it has a gently rounded edge and a notch on both pieces for easy matching. Triangles are nice because the corners are already cut off.

The 2 I want to get are the Home and Alex Anderson's die set-basket and star.

My suggestion is to look at the types of quilts you enjoy making, are there any shapes that are consistant in all of them?

I have bought some from Nancy's Notions. Discounted prices and if you get her catalogue it has frequent free shipping. Plus, the customer service is wonderful.
