When I first got my Go I was concerned that I made a mistake. It was hard to turn and it seemed to cut like a rotary cutter with an old blade. But then I read the directions and some QB members hints. I start by ironing my fabric with starch, then check for the direction of the fabric - it cuts better one direction over the other, and you cut multiple layers of fabric at a time. With each use it got easier to turn.

I love that I can cut a whole quilt worth of binding in one pass through. A friend and I cut out all the pieces for a King size DWR quilt in about 2 hours, that included all the prep work too. I do have the die that will cut 9 2.5 in. squares at one time and that is very nice. I could make the same pieces with the 2.5 in. strip die, but it was on sale and makes it very quick.
