Does Anyone have an Accuquilt Studio they want to part with?


Recommended Posts

I've been checking the Accuquilt website every day for a couple of weeks now, and this evening I see the Studio is on sale for $395.  I guess I better order one quick since it doesn't appear anyone wants to part with theirs.  Thanks for the thoughts and info you all have provided.  Jim

Well, I just placed my order.  I bought the Studio package with the 3 strip cutting dies, plus 3 additional strip dies.  Spent over $1000.  Ya'll had better have given me good advise LOL!  The 3 dies that came in the package were five and six strip dies, and the ones I added were 4, 4, and 3.  BTW the dies were on sale at 40% off too.

 

I hope my wife likes her Christmas gift.  Jim

Jim,

I'm sure your wife will really like her Christmas gift. I have been looking at the Brother cut/scan machine. I like the way it can scan any shapes and cut them out with out having to buy the dies. When I get it I will let you know how I like it. I was looking at the accuquilt they look like a nice set up. I think I am going to have to buy my own lol I don't think Santa is going to get leave me one under my tree :(

 

Have a nice day :),

You and your wife are going to love your Studio Cutter.  You definitely made the right decision.  I found the table for mine cheaper than at AccuQuilt.  Almost 50% cheaper and it's a great cabinet.  You have to have the space for it though.  Remember that they will also make custom dies and they offer a discount at times on those too.

I do Jim, but almost every one of them was bought on sale so it's not as bad as it looks and I've done it over time so it didn't hurt quite as much.  I use them all the time.  They have saved me so much time and effort.  Worth every penny!

Jim, your wife will love her new Studio. I have the Go! Baby, the Go!, the Studio, and I am getting the Go! Big. I teach classes specializing in the Go! products so I need all of them to demo and show what they can do. I mostly use the Studio for my own use. Be sure to get the Go! adapters for the Studio and then your wife will be able to use Go! dies which are quite a bit cheaper. There are several Go! dies that have better layouts and better use of fabric than the Studio dies. The only difference is that using the Go! dies you can only cut a maximum of 6 layers of fabric whereas with the Studio you can cut up to 10 layers of fabric. I have not found this a problem at all.

Lucky you, Jim!! Be sure to remind your wife you need some special treatment for the amazing gift!!

 

I love my Go strip dies. I'm sure the Studio's are even that much better. Another die I love, but they don't work the greatest for me (I have the Go Cutter), are the triangle dies. They make piecing much more accurate because everything is so exact.

Hi Sue, I posted about it a while ago and have come to some resolution of sorts. The metal points of the dies "eat" the fabric -- meaning the fabric gets stuck down in the points when cutting fabric. I do have the little pick that helps to get it out, but I get runs or pulls in the fabric and have to throw the piece out. I've resorted to using a few layers of paper on the die and the plastic cutting sheet and using at least four layers of fabric instead of just a layer or two. That does seem to help but still is not 100% perfect. This happens with a new plastic cutting sheet, too.

 

I'm all ears for tips or any insight!!

At 50% off I could be interested...where did you find yours? A quick look on the Internet didn't find it...

Dave, I ordered mine through a special Hayneedle was having so I got a sale price and free shipping which AccuQuilt did not offer at the time and no sales tax.  I know you're already spoiled because Oregon doesn't have a sales tax, but that saved me another 8.7%.  The cabinet is called a Kangaroo Wombat Embroidery Cabinet.  Right now they are $70 cheaper than AccuQuilt and free shipping.  AccuQuilt has a free shipping rate going on for a few more days.  Keep looking you'll find a good price.  I don't have a business license, but if you do then you may get even a bigger discount.  I also had to assemble mine, but it was pretty easy.  It's a really nice heavy cabinet and works perfect for my dies.
