Jan, I used to think it didn't, but after reading comments on how much more accurate cutting is with an Accuquilt I'm beginning to wonder if I'm really that poor at using a rotary cutter! As much as I would love to have one, I will just have to "keep on keeping on" with my rulers and blades for a little while longer.
Thanks to all who have responded. I need to start saving my money for an Accuquilt! Wishing you all a wonderful 2014!

I'm assuming you can't cut scraps with the Accuquilt Go cutters? You have to start with yardage?

I cut my scraps with my Accuquilt. You can cut anything that's big enough for the die. As a matter of fact, I usually cut yardage down to the size of the die I'm using.

since I've never had any desire to spend the money on some sort of 'cutting machine' I've been cutting my 2" squares with a ruler & rotary cutter forever.

Being "rotary cutting" challenged, everything I cut with my Go is always better than when I cut with rulers... I vote for the Go!

Thank used to be my thoughts too, until my DIL gave me a GO. Boy, was I ever wrong! I love my GO for all the reasons mentioned above.
