I have Lupus, RA, AS, IBM just to name the mane illnesses. I purchased the Accuquilt Go cutter and I love it. I would buy it again. The only ones I have a hard time with are the big rag dies. My husband cuts them for me. It not only cuts your cutting time by quilte a bit, it is accureate and I am able to cut fabric again for my quilt. Much cheaper then buying kits. I only buy the dies that I will need or when they are on sale. I have found Sew For Less (you can get the Go cutter on sale most of the time for $199 with free shipping) Faric Hut and a couple other places will have dies on sale most of the time. I have made several rag quilts and now applique is fun. Hope this helps you.
