I got one for Christmas, dh and ds gave me it. It came with a starter set of dies..from Amazon. Was $300.00 and something. I also got the 2 1/2" strip cutter and the large mat. Heres the funny?? part: I didn't open and use any of it until last week!!
I was actually thinking I would just sell the whole schebang...this after wanting it all so bad!! But, I signed up for a 6" square swap here on QB, and decided to just get the Go! out and give it a "go"...bad pun intended...sorry...lol...Anyways, it cut those squares perfectly! I then "threw caution to the wind" and cut some jelly roll strips!!! It was super with those, too. I also have the JT shape cut ruler, and I do agree that cutting strips with it is great, too...I think it just really depends on the person...

PS Prism99 is right, I precut and fan fold, make sure just a lil bit of fabric is overhanging the shape, and there is very little waste...
