I have one and all the strip dies plus several others. I hardly use it and am going to sell it. It works fine but it seems a bother to set it up, load it up, and cut when I already have my cutting mat up and can do a few cuts quickly. I might feel different if I had room for it to be up all the time.

I know people will talk about sales etc but the cost of the dies adds up. I have over $700 invested in this seldom used gadget.

My BFF has a Studio cutter. I have purchased a couple of dies that "live" at her house. The studio cuts 10 layers at a time. One of my dies is "Take 5". I can cut 10 blocks at a time. The tumbler die lets me cut 80 at one pass. I cut or fold my fabric into strips before I run it through the machine, and have minimal waste. Really speeds up my piecing for charity quilts. I have been cutting some of my odds and ends into strips or nickel squares. Her church sewing group loves to make jelly roll quilts.

I must admit I am getting a little excited to see it also.

I have the GO and if I fold my fabric carefully the only waste is slivers/strings.

I love the GO. I cut out 200 pieces in about 45 minutes. Cant do that with a rotary cutter. I do my strips with a rotary cutter but the shapes are great with the GO

I too am waiting to hear reports from gals who have used this.

I'm betting it's the silhouette cameo since it gets hooked up to the computer. There's a new scan n cut machine but I don't think it has to be hooked up to the computer.

I love my Studio. I had started with the Go and GoBaby, but moved up. Sold the smaller ones, but kept a lot of the dies. I have also bought other mfr dies, since they also work with it.
