I don't cut the same blocks. I cut block pieces. Triangles, rectangles, squares, half squares, strips, and other shapes. I love that the ends are all cut off the triangles making it so much easier to match up. The rag cut dies are a big time saver the edges are perfectly snipped for you. I waiting for the Double Wedding Ring die to be available and the Drunkard's path. The dies come in basic sizes and are the sizes I was cutting for most of my quilts. The Studio model has more quilt dies and is made for high volume cutting. I opted for the Go because it's portable and is a personal machine for the sewing room. After having aches for a day after rotary cutting pieces for quilting, it's worth the price to me. No other material items gives me a much enjoyment as my quilting supplies.
