I bought my GO about 8 months ago after thinking long and hard about it. Would it be worth the money, time to set up and the care it takes to cut correctly? I LOVE it! I didn't realize how inaccurately I had been cutting (blushing here!) and even though I don't use it every day or even every week, it has been worth every penny-JMHO. I'm a piecer vs. applique, so I have a lot of those shapes and can make lots of blocks with them. As with anything new, there is a learning curve. I bought Ebony Love's book and a few books of ideas specifically for using it. I ask for dies for birthdays and special occasions and hubby is happy to have ideas! I keep it near at hand so it isn't a big deal to lift it to the cutting table, open and go! lol! Also use it when finished a project to cut up scraps into usable sizes and some for a future tumbler project. It may not please everyone, but I'm really happy with mine.
