Glad you got the AccuQuiltGo. Already you have found it beneficial because of your joints. Other benefits are accuracy and time saved. Not only that, you will find it cuts up scraps beautifully! Here's a couple tricks for you, and I bet you willl figure out other tricks, too! One is to cut strips whatever the width you used. Then turn them sideways and cut them into perfect squares. Another one is to strip two or three strips together. Press. Then turn them around and cross cut into pieced strips for 4 patch or 9 patch blocks. Enjoy!
