The Studio and the Grande Mark (same machine, different tag) are both on sale now by the company. The last rag quilt I cut out, I used a layer of newspaper (best repurposing around) between my die and fabric. Surely saved on the cleaning and did not mark the fabric. Just tape a garbage bag to the table for recycling the newspaper scraps. Accuquilt also now has an adapter to use your Go dies on the larger machines.
