I've had mine for over a year now and love it. Sure is faster than cutting with a rotary, and everything comes out right. I have 21 of the dies so far, am waiting for the 6 1/2" strip die. I know it's easy to cut 6 1/2" strips with a rotary, but with the Go you can cut 6 - 8 at a time! It will make great borders. And I do not mind the small amount of waste fabric. I like the idea of braiding them, might have to try that! A friend is keeping her's to make rugs.
