I purchased the Go strickly for the applique dies etc. The only applique I do is by fusing and the Go makes that a piece of cake. The only drawback is that you have to put the fusable on the fabric before you cut it out and that does waste some but it sure bears cutting things out by hand. My poor hands are getting wornout. When I first got my machine I cut out a bunch of stuff. Alas it is all still sitting waiting to be appliqued on a quilt. Like most of us I have to many gadgets, projects and fabric to finish everything before I die.
