    There are a few videos on Alto's website that show it in action. http://quiltcut.com/online_demo_flash.html
    Wow.. that is awesome. Thanks for the demonstration. I thought they were the same.

    Isn't it though? I'd love to see it in person! I'm wondering if any of the quilt stores in town carry it.... I'm looking forward to making some phone calls :D

    They don't give too many details though.. what kind of angles does it cut? I've been wanting to get some wedge rulers for making circle quits and whatnot... does it have some sort of degree markings on it?

    How big is the mat? Is it self healing? Just too cool. That's all I got to say about that. I'm wondering if I should drive out to the Georgia Quilt show in October lol.
    Yes it does angle cuts and you can even make your own templates if you wanted to. The mat will last for years, if you go to a quilt show try and see it in action it's awesome.

    Iam sure they will because these girls where from Dallas and if they came all the way to Fredricksburg Iam sure they will be at the Austin quilt show.

    I'd love to see one of these in action is there a u-tube demo on it?
    There probably is I saw it in one of my quilt magazines and I thought it was better than the Accu Go cheaper too.
