Has anyone used the Silhouette Cameo scan & cut machine for cutting quilt blocks?

Hi,
I am really interested in the cutting of several layers. Can you tell me how you attach more than one layer to the mat. As you know, the item to be cut has to be stuck to the cutting mat.... how do you stick on the second and subsequent layers??????
Hugs

Thank you so much for your replies. I did know the Scan and Cut is the tradename for the Brother machine but I used it with the Silhouette to kind of describe what I was talking about.
.
I have gone to several Silhouette blogs and Facebook pages and also saw it on Create N Craft shopping program where I bought mine. They claim several layers of cottons can be cut by adjusting the blade. I agree that the size of the pieces would affect how many could be cut at once.
I am excited to try my machine but we have a 10 wk old puppy and I am practically glued to her.

I just did a search here to see what info the group had on the different machines for cutting fabric. Wow! This one is brand new!
Some one donated a Go Baby to our church quilting group. I bought thr die for the rag quilts and did not like it. It was a pain to clean and so hard on my hands. I have seen other post where you love them and some discussion on the silhouette. One layer, not for me. It sounds like the regular size GO is what I need. So again, thank you for the great information.

On the single cut... since this machine is electronic/computer-connected, you can fill a cut of as many shapes as can fit on the fabric. Also, several colored fabrics can be cut if you are appliqueing. I still don't know about the layers but I do know I have seen where several layers of paper can be cut. No dies to buy etc. I'm determined to find a way!
