If you want the best price check out amazon.com. I bought the accuquilt go and several dies, all from them and at different times. So much cheaper there.
I have arthritis in my thumbs and hands that is getting worse. Can hardly use scissors or cutter anymore and I love to quilt. It isn't too hard to turn the crank to get the fabric through and I can use my hand and not thumb. There are some drawbacks, but you can work around them. Thread from the fabric gets caught in the dies, but you can get it out. I made several rag quilts that I would have never been able to cut if not using the template. I am making really cute Christmas ornaments now. Could never make the cuts for the snowflakes by hands. So much to do so little time!
