I could never have made Grandma's flower garden without it. Cuts were perfect.

The thing about the GO that I like is the accuracy of the cuts. I am making a lap quilt for my son called "Mail Box" and it needs 400 squares, the GO made short work of that requirement. I have a lot invested in my GO, but I'd buy it again and I save up for the dies that I'd like to add to my collection. I keep it tucked right under my cutting table, it doesn't take up much room, and use it whenever I can. Give it another chance. The Dresden die is worth every penny and if there was ever a need for accuracy then Dresden blades have to top the list.

The dies fit nicely on the lower shelves.

I love mine and the strip cutters, though I've got to admit to purchasing MANY others as well. With my arthritic hands it helps as I can't hold the ruler & the rotary cutter steady anymore. The idea of using a MW cart is wonderful, need to keep an eye out for a used one. I would like AQ to come out w/ a motor attachment, some day....

I agree with Caspharm. Each die have a free pattern included. Here is another site where quilt patterns are made using Accuquilt dies. I also cut up scraps using the Bonnie Hunter method and lable the plastic shoe boxes. For storing my dies I bought milk crates and pot lid holders from Walmart. I put the 2 lid holder in the bottom of each milk crate. I love my Go.

thank you so much everyone for all the information on the go cutter. I have gone to several of the website and it looks like I have not been utilizing my go cutter as I should. I'm going to start looking for a pattern that really strikes me and start sewing! thanks everyone!
