    I'm thinking about purchasing a fabric cutter. I found one called Sizzix Vagabond that is electric. Has anyone ever used one of these, and if so how well does it work on fabric? Or if someone has something that they think is better, any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!!!

    A lot of people have purchased the Accuquilt Go! The same company has a Studio version that many stores use. Have you checked out those? There is an accucutquilters group on Yahoo for these cutters. Website is http://www.accuquilt.com/ .

    Check out the prices on overstock.com for those items. I noticed they had some pretty good deals.

    The Vagabound is a great little machine and I was this close to buying it. But then my very short attention span was captivated by the Cricut Expression and Gypsy combo.

    Here's a the Vagabound video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaK8a0w2llA - I can't remember if this is the one that showed it cutting fabric or not.

    I have no need of cutter for squares or strips. But more intricate motifs...very interested.

    So I'm still trying to decide.

    I have the manual one(big shot). I love it, cuts fabric like butter. Haven't got strip sets yet though.
