AccuQuilt recently reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying out their Ready. Set. GO! Ultimate Fabric Cutting System.

When I started quilting a couple of years ago, I found myself on Instagram and was immediately struck by how amazing the modern quilting Instagram community is.
