i would recommend the accuquilt go big which is electric. cost around $500
but i got to where my shoulder wouldn't take the manual turning on the non electric go machine. i now that's a lot of money but i don't eat out, smoke or drink so i figure i'm worth it. the dies i use most are the strips in 1-1/2", 2-1/2", 3" & 6". you can then sub cut strips into blocks or rectangles. oh and the hexagon die. if you applique there are dies for flowers, etc that save a lot of time too.
