I'll be honest . . . I had a Go! and sold it. It worked ok, but I needed a heavier duty one for my shop. The difference is amazing IMO! (I might just be justifying the money I spent on it!!)
Good point about washing, pressing, starching. I got in the habit of skipping the pre-wash when I had my shop. Didn't have a washer/dryer handy! lol!
Static is worse in the winter, but I have problems with it year round.
Also, just an FYI . . .
JoAnns can have good deals on dies, however they don't carry all of the dies that independent retailers do. I think I can put you in touch with a retailer (who happens to be a board member) that makes good deals. PM me if interested. Meanwhile, I'll talk to her about it.
