I don't know who would want to stablize all of their fabric before cutting it. I think the GO and the Cameo are used for two different things. To cut out appliques once in a while the Cameo would be great and you wouldn't mind putting stablizer on a piece or two, but cutting strips and a bunch of half square triangles would be a drag if I had to stablize several yards. The mark up on the Cameos must be way up there because our local sewing machine shop is really pushing them as well.
