I bet you could pick up one of these ladys aqquaquilts at a good price. I have the GO and love it you can also pick up free patterns for the dies you get. Also there are some web sites that have some of there patterns for the GO. I love myne I am working on a quick quilt that calls for the Tumbler righr now. I do cut alot with the rotary because I have alot of kits that call for something else but if it calls for one I can use with the GO I use it. You can cut easily through 4 at a time if your weak and 6 if your strong depending on the fabric. I cut 4 all the time.
Good luck and thank you for spending so much time with oue kids Lord knows they need it..
