if all you are doing is cutting strips and squares, then NO there is no need to buy a die cutter!
If you have a physical issue with cutting fabric, then NO the die cutter will not really help. You still need to precut your fabric to fit into the machines.
I have shoulder, back and wrist problems, and that's why I love the Go cutter. I do VERY LITTLE PRECUTTING. I may have to cut 1 strip of each fabric for the Go, but that's ALL. Much easier than cutting out all the pieces. Sometimes I don't even have to pre-cut. It all depends on the piece of fabric. With FQs, I usually don't have to do any pre-cutting.
