The accuquilt is something I do not regret buying one bit. I absolutely love the rag dies! I have issues with my hands and so does my mom (she also has fibro). Her and I enjoy quilting together so we split the price of the machine. It was just under $200 on Amazon and we split the bill. Sometimes it takes some muscle to get the die to roll through if it has more than a couple layers of fabric in it, but in that case we just have one of the guys crank it for us. I do wish the dies werent so expensive though. But if you look around, you can find good deals on them. We only have a few of the dies so far but use them often. The rag dies are my favorites, and my mom loves the strip cutter die.
