I love my accuquilt Go. It saves me time, energy and frustration. I traced all shapes onto clear plastic templates and keep them with the dies. whenever I get ready to cut some shapes, I place the template over the fabric and cut a general shape out so I can "save" fabric. If you decide to do this, I would recommend writing the name of the die, the # of the die and the size of the shape. This will save lots of time in the long run.
