Oh, Margo, I've drooled over the Silhouette before! Do you have one? The only thing that's kept me from holding out for it is that I've yet to see a quilt made from it. Their site seems more geared towards scrapbooking - someone needs to highjack it for us quilters
Can it cut fabric without a fusible attached? Oh, do I have questions...
I think the Sizzix can cut fabric without a fusible as long as you put a sheet of paper on top to help the blades break through. But, again, I don't have mine yet, so I may be way off here...
Lesley, if the AccuQuilt will work for you, go for it! That's a great price and you'll have tons of fun with it. I like that it folds up to carry along or for storage. That's a plus.
Some day, in the not to far future, no one will need rotary cutters anymore. We'll just input into our computers what we want cut and voila! Perfect, precise, laser cut pieces. Sci-fi quilting...
