Hi,
I am a GO addict. I've had my GO for about 6 months now, and have never had any regrets. My first quilt cut on my GO was a king size 9 patch. I needed over 500 3 1/2" squares. I think it took my 1/2 hour max to cut these out. I have made small size 9 patch quilts before and really do like them, but no way was I going to cut out 500 squares with a rotary cutter. With a rotary cutter, no matter how careful I was, I always had to "square up" my 9 patch blocks, and some of them inevitably came out just a little short. Not so with my GO cut squares. The squares fit together perfectly, and I did not have to do any squareing up. My completed blocks came out so close to perfect I did not have to do anything but sew them together with the 9 1/2" blocks to make the quilt. Cutting has not always been one of my favorite things about making quilts, but it is now.
If you are thinking about getting one, there are some great videos on the AccuQuilt site and also on

I have also made a couple of rag quilts with my GO. You cut the fabric with the Rag Quilt die and the batting with the 6 1/2" die, sew the squares together and you are done. The rag quilts take about half the time, from GO cutting to finishing, as doing it the rotary cutter/scissors way. I can't imagine how any one could ever regret buying the GO.
