Hi steve welcome, I hae the alto cutting mat love it,thanks for making it, Love your grand mothers quilt, so quilting is in your blood so to say, it is a wonderful hobby and you will find being a man that you will have a different perspective on quilting than a woman thats not bad at all so dont be afraid to follow what you think should be in your quilt and not always follow the rules, I have seen some extrodinary quilts done by men that think out side the box whether in design or in using different fabrics or items Good luck and have a fantastic journey and will be waiting to see your first quilt.

Welcome from New Mexico. I have been drooling over the Altos quilt cutting system for a while now. I am hoping to get one for Christmas. It looks to me like it would be a time saving and much more accurate way to cut our pieces.
Kudos for you for wanting to learn to sew and quilt. You will get much enjoyment from it, I'm sure.

Welcome from KY! I think it is really neat that you wanted to understand more so you could be better informed about your product and the customer's needs. I also am glad you have been bitten by the quilting bug. This board is a great place to get information.
