I have the GO and got the BABY for travel

I purchased it at the quilt shop that sold the Accuquilt ... Some really nice patterns and can all be cut with the Accuquilt. Publisher is House of White Birches and costs 14.95.

The instructions in Mix and Match ( the name because it is meant that you can use the mix and match set with all the patterns. I found it really easy to follow the instructions when I did the table topper.

I disagree with your LQS. I absolutely love my GO, and even if the quilt I want to make is just simple strips or simple squares or whatever, I would never cut them with a rotary cutter. The GO just makes all the fabric pieces go together easier, and quicker, and I have never had to square anything up.

For borders, sashing, etc. you use the strip cutters. The strip cutters come in 1, 1 1/2, through 4 1/2". I use the smaller ones for sashing, bindings and borders and the biggest one for borders only. You just lay the fabric on the cutter, fan fold it until you have the length you want, and run it through the cutter. I think the strip cutters are the Meat of the GO. I use them more than any of my other cutters.
