After speaking with a personal professional quilter who is friends with another professional quilter, I placed my order for an AccuQuilt Go. Thought about the studio one but it is not portable enough for me and I could not justify all the dies that come with it. Specifically, I am looking to ease my rotary cutting of strips for charity quilts. And while I have arthritis, it is my belief I can cut four fabrics at a time (rather than up to six as demonstrated) and the turn will be easier on me than pushing down upon a rotary cutter. Plus just think of my Guild members who will come visiting with a yard or two of their fabric under their arms. :) I will gladly share.
So, hopefully, Santa Claus will be arriving by Thanksgiving this year. I will have to open my billfold for the strip die however to the tune of $70Plus. Yipes, that is how AccuQuilt makes their profits--they know we quilters will want special cuts.
A hint given to me by one quilter was when cutting scraps over one small area of large die, be sure to start cranking the die plate at a slight angle. Not sure what that means--perhaps if die is not completely full with fabric, then the die might slip if insert tried pulling-pushing on a straight line. Hum-m, I will have to keep you posted when I get it.
