I love mine. Look over the dies and see if they are of interest to your style of quilting. For me it is great that I can cut an entire quilt work of binding in one swift run through the GO. At Christmas I wanted to make a patchwork quilt of various Christmas fabric, using the double 5 inch die, they cut so quick and so easily. Mine came from the Road to California show a few years ago. They were having a special price on the machine and the dies and I was able to try it myself, when I got home and registered it on-line, they started sending me notices of sales and other things. So when there is a sale I can't resist I buy the new die. You don't have to buy them all at once.
