Quiltcut
Has anyone any experience/comments concerning 'Quitcut'? From
articles on the 'net' it appears to be a 'must have' device but there seems to be very little real life information from those that use it. It also appears that many who initially stocked the device now list it as 'discontinued'. Is there a hidden 'catch' or doesn't the product live up to its apparent usefulness? The comments of any who have experience of the device would be helpful. |

Are you talking about the Alto Quilt Cut? If so, don't waste your
money. I have the first version and don't know if the second is much better. I ended up not being able to use their measurements as it was far from accurate so had to use a ruler all the time any way. Also, the cutting bar had wobble to it that couldn't be tightened out.

Howdy!
Opinions from the past, this group, quiltcut: http://tinyurl.com/hncba some seem to have it: http://www.freequiltingblocksandsupp.../051_01qc.html http://tinyurl.com/n8le7 No affiliation, thanks. Kinda' pricey. ""must have"? I don't think so. But I've only been quilting for 30+ years; Your Mileage May Vary --YMMV. Ragmop/Sandy On 7/3/06 3:11 AM, in article , "Edward W.

I absolutely love my quilt cut. I received it as a christmas gift about 2
years ago. Juli "Edward W. Thompson" wrote in message ... Has anyone any experience/comments concerning 'Quitcut'?

If you are referring to the Alto's Quiltcut2, it is wonderful. I have never
had any problems with it, and everything is very stable. I know several people in my guild also have it, in fact, three members puchased it last week at our quilt show. Sherry Starr "Edward W.

I guess as you haven't used the 'device' your comments are irrelevant. I appears from those that have experience of the Alto Quiltcut, most love it but it is rather 'pricey'! One comment on the downside seemed to relate to a loose ruler which seems to be a defect rather than relating to the efficiency of the device. I don't understand why the machine wasn't returned. Anyway thanks to all for your responses. When the piggy bank has some excess funds I think Quiltcut might be a possibility, among all the others, of course :-)! |

heehee,
i read back thru u'r reply Sandy and i can see how if one doesnt know you here well then tis possible to misread u'r reply. i guess i've been reading you enough yrs here to know how you meant it. i've see the altocut but for me too tis too expensive. heck i use empty cereal boxes as templates for applique and to wrap my embroidery floss around as well. tis my scottish blood i think and the fact stuff here in nz cost twice and then some more than in usa. i cant see the point in spending money on stuff i can work without and save the money for fabrics that i cant work without. hugz, jeanne -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r nzlstar on webshots gen.gen.co.nz "Sandy Ellison" wrote... Howdy! Darlin', you asked for comments, and you also asked if this item is a " 'must have' device." I replied w/ the link to check what others here have said about the Quiltcut, for and against, and indicated that in my 30+ yrs. experience of quilting it has not been a " 'must have' device." Bless your heart, getting what you asked for doesn't seem to have satisfied your quest for info. |

Quiltcut
I am trying to convince a dear old gal to use a rotary cutter at all.
She has been quilting for a lot of years and refuses to rotary cut anything. Her work is so wonderful. It is hard to argue with success and what works for her I guess. Last thing I need is one more thing. I used one of the alto deals at a class once. Seems like a lot of fuss and bother for what it does IMO.

Anyway thanks to all for your responses. When the piggy bank has some excess funds I think Quiltcut might be a possibility, among all the others, of course :-)! Two points: 1. Reading and understanding is something you need to attend to. Perhaps you should stop quilting for a time to hone up on that skill 2. Courtesy does not appear to be a part of your character. It must be embarrassing for you when others feel the need to excuse your lack of manners. If your bothered to read my enquiry I did ask for comments from those who have used Alto Quitcult. Comments from those who have not are worthless, as yours was. Please save bandwidth and only respond when you know what you are talking about. This NG is clearly not for me. |
