Default AccuQuilt GO! cutter advice

Does anyone use this machine, either the full (10") or Baby (6") ? If so, can you share your experience? Also, any ideas on where to get one for less than list price besides eBay.

There is a Yahoo group called pinsandneedles1. Best prices I have found anywhere. The moderator has a separate website for ordering here: http://diecutyourfabric.com/. You can compare prices without ordering, go to the bottom of the page for details about how to do that.

I really like my Go Baby. I like being able to cut out an entire quilt in an hour. I had a problem with one of my dies, I used it a ton and it developed a spot where it wouldn't cut. I contacted Accuquilt and they replaced it for me.

This has been discussed many times, if you do a search on this board, you will get lots of opinions!

I would have thought so too, but when entering "accuquilt" as a search term, nothing appeared. Now, the only thing to show up is this thread. Is there an archive I have overlooked?

Quilters warehouse has the Go at a decent price - $185. I think it is just the cutter though, no dies or mats, but they sell those too. Check them out and good luck. I am considering getting one as well, but I am still not sure that I would use it all that much.

I purchased the Go Baby and loved it. My daughter used it and liked it so much I gave it to her and purchased a full size Go. Because I have arthritis, this is about my favorite piece of quilting equipment. It works great and I can cut pieces quickly and without hurting my hands.

Yeah, the search option can be that way sometimes. Especially if you know only one name and others are using abbreviations or a different word. Really hard. So hard sometimes folks can give up. The moment is lost and they might get a feeling that what they post isn't really all that important.

I own the big Accuquilt and like it. I have many dies, but have only used a few. My mother is using the 3 inch strip for my niece's log cabin quilt.

I love mine. I use it to cut charms, 2.5 inch squares, and odd shapes like the apple core. I also own the log cabin which I just got and the 8" rag. Anything that is hard to cut or can't be cut with a rotary cutter is great. I also plan to get the circle die. I don't use it for strips because I think using a rotary cutter is easier for strips.

I bought mine on amazon and it came with one die.
