As I am now a trainee darksider, with a fear of rotary cutters, I have splashed out on a Gemini die cutter. It has arrived, been unpacked and works like a dream. I am seriously impressed with it, but of course, DH, who can take the shine off anything new with constant 'how much?' and what do you want that for' ......supportive he is not! I have purchased some fabric for next project and will be cutting away very shortly! - that was my triumph!
However the disaster came in the shape of a walking foot to fit the Brother V5, which didn't, and then found out I needed to buy an adapter to make it fit! ( I told the supplier which model I had). The upshot of this is that the very dire quality foot is going back, and an adapter is not being purchased, the price for the both being over £50! I shall stick to the heavy and clunky one that belongs to the Juki and not purchase stuff on a whim again!!
Right off to play with new toy!
