Hi Jamie,
Firstly... Happy Birthday.
Now as for the Go! or EQ7 - I have both - I use both. But on Sunday I was doing some sewing - my project is small squares in strips. Having sewn the strips together I had to cut 168 1.5" strips from the longer strips. If I had to do that by hand it would have taken absolutely ages.. lining-up - cutting - squaring up to make sure things are straight. But I got my Go! out... lined them up... doubled them over and in approximately 10 - 15 minutes there they were all 168 of them! I have even worked out how to cut with the minimum anount of waste and they are all lining up great for sewing!
Hope this helps and have a great birthday!
Hugs
Caroline
P.S. My Go! was a birthday present too!
