My GO is one of my favorite quilting tools. I just made 3 king size quilts that required a zillion 2 1/2" strips. The GO made this quilt possible for me to do. I never would have even tried it if I didn't have the GO. When you can cut out 12 strips at a time it makes things a whole lot easier, and a whole lot faser. And the strips were almost perfect - a whole lot more perfect than if I had to cut them out individually with my rotary cutter. I had my GO cutter for a couple of years and absolutely loved it, but I did trade it in for the GO Big and now I can make all my cuts without turning a handle. My GO and my embroidery machine make applique possible for me, too, which I did very little of prior to my GO!
