I just got an Accu a few weeks ago and I've heard alot of people talking about wasted but there really isn't anymore than usual. I've cut alot of shaped and there is some waste but beings I pre iron the webbing before cutting I just keep whats left to use for a smaller cut. Like I cut out some flowers and took a previous cut of fabric to put in the little circle for the center. I have a box I keep with all the leftovers for other things so really not to much waste there either. I love my Accucutter. I just showed a Rag Quilt I did with mine and it went really fast and not to much waste for that either. Its awesome. I sold my motorcycle and bought it and I'm getting alot more miles out of the Accu :thumbup:

It's all in the planning. Mark you dies so you can see the cutting lines for placement. And like Kim said any larger scrapes can be used for other dies where you can use the left over pieces. Also you don't run the chance of a miss cut like can happen when you rotary cut. Examples the ruler shifts or you measured wrong.

Yeah another good idea. Marking the lines. I took a yellow marker and marked all mine. It sure helps to see where to place everything. Have fun. Thanks for showing pictures of yours. :thumbup:

Very interesting. This little machine may help a lot of arthritic hands. What do you think?

Lovely fabrics you cut! Am impressed with such little waste.
Dumb question here: where might I find some info, etc. on these?
Thanks for your time! :)

As long as your layers are not too thick it should be fine. Like I said I only use 4 layers.

Yes. I would never have been able to do a rag quilt without the Accu.

Love my Go! You are right, there is very little waste.

The fabrics you've cut are beautiful, hope we get to see whatever fabulous project you use them in!
