This is a game changer for quilling. Flower strips on Amazon are limited in color and there are styles that don't look good. Here, with flower dies, you can create your own flower strips in any color you want - I even tried glitter card stock from Hobby Lobby and it worked beautifully. It was larger and heavier than expected but it doesn't require suction to stay on your workspace which I appreciate. Directions were clear and said that imprints on the acrylic plates is normal, something other have complained about with other machines.
