I know everyone including me has an electronic die cutting machine just about. I still like my QK. I have at least 25 alphabets (maybe more as I have oodles of the QK binders) and to be honest, I am glad I never sold them. I wish I had bought Biography. I was too cheap and didn't buy it and now I can't get it for a while. Not to mention I don't know where I am going to get it. Maybe the QK Fairy will come to my rescue and find someone wanting to sell it and will let me take it off her hands. I don't know but I can always wish right?
Every.other.font. I have I love. Love love love them. Even a squeeze is not a big deal. It doesn't hurt my hands and I use it like crazy!

Once I got my Cricut my QK started gathering dust. Now that I have a Cameo, I can't imagine going back to my QK. I need to garage sale it this summer.

I love my qk dies w the Big Shot!! I wanted Biography for years--finally got it when a friend sold off all her stuff a few months ago.
So it does happen. Fingers crossed for you.

I still love mine. Sold Maddie Anne years ago, and regret it. Studio classic is especially useful because they released it here with Norwegian letters (we have three more letters in our alphabet than you do). And the first train set, and the ladybug and the bees, and....and..... Yup, still love 'em and still use 'em.

I bought one at a garage sale for $2...and got one or two alphabets. But it would just frustrate me how many steps I had to take to make a title. So I hardly ever used it. When I got my cameo I gave away all my die cutters (sizzix, cricut, and the quickutz). I love that I can weld my title, peel it off and stick it with my xyron.

I never had a lot of QK dies but I still like the ones I have. In fact, I recently rediscovered my dies and have been using my Big Shot a lot more often. I've even bought a few new dies to supplement my stash. I do have a Cricut but sometimes it's less of a hassle to just run a die through the cutter.

I use my dies a lot. Especially if I'm doing a piece with lots of colors. For some reason, I'm too lazy to sort them all into colors to cut on the Cameo. For smaller letters, I still like QK as well. I have 100+ fonts and I still watch for them. Don't get me wrong--I love my Cameo. But QK will always have a place in my heart.

I kept mine & still love them but don't think to use them very often. The extensive stash of thickers right behind my chair is sooooo much more convenient.

I bought the Squeeze from QVC years ago. I believe it came with one font but it's so small it's frustrates me to no end to try to adhere it to a page. I've tried all types of adhesive but they all are a pita to me.

I still like mine. I take them to crops when I can't take my Silver Bullet. I only take it when I'm going to a weekend or longer crop.

I still have my squeeze and still use it! I also have the silhouette but will still pull out the QK dies sometimes if I need something real quick. I was in Joann's recently and found some new 2x2 dies for $1.99. If they come out with cool new designs at a lower price than they were years ago, I may buy some new dies.

I love mine especially with that first Revolution machine that came in the little train case. I even have a brand new one in case the first one breaks. I way prefer the dies to my electronic cutter....and I have 3 of them. Hoarder. LOL

Until a couple years ago, I had only a QK Squeeze, two alphas, & a handful of versatile 2x2 shapes that I used on occasion. The Big Kick, which I purchased on deeply-discounted at a big box store, could accommodate 4x8 & grand fonts, 12" borders, 4x4 & cookie cutter shapes, & nesting dies. Thanks to clearance sales & ebay, my collection has expanded by leaps & bounds; I use the manual dies frequently!

I still really like my QK dies. I have several binders full of alphas and shapes. They really did a good job with their designs. I have a Cricut to but sometimes I just like to use the dies.

I have a QK squeeze and maybe 6 alphas and I love them all, still. There is one alpha, rather plain, that I just love to use on my lo's. I have a bunch of the 2x2 shapes dies, but I don't use them much at all. Might have to dig those out one day. Eta: just went and looked...the alpha I like to use often is studio. Now I'm off to see about buying another alpha...thanks, peas!!  |

Don't own an electronic cutter, but I do have rather large die collection. I made this page today, Santa and Mrs. Claus are QK dies:

I still have mine with a few alphabets. Since I'm not planning to upgrade, I'll keep it. With I had more alpha choices though.

I still love and use my QK and squeeze. Even after getting a big shot, I still will pull out my squeeze when I just need a quick 2x2 punched out.

I love mine...but like others I have not been using them much. I do have 50+ alphas and I am sure I will phase them back in. Ever since watching shimelle I use alot of thickers!

Love this layout! The die cuts look almost like commercially produced ones you did such a great job of it! Well done! |

I still love using the letters but since I got my Cameo I don't use the shapes as much. My girls love using the revolution. They really get a good feeling knowing they "made" something.

I wish I had a Quickutz.
As of right now, I have zero die cutting things.
But to get back to your question, I still love QK dies (all manual dies, really) and find them easier to use that dealing with a computer and sticky mats and blades that dull over time.

I still have mine and use them with my Big Shot. I wouldn't ever want to go back to that handtool again. Running the QK through a die cut machine is much easier on your hands!

YES, I used two of my alphas on a layout title today, Vixen and Katie.
