Dies have sharp very thin blades and can't be stored flat with another die on top of it. The strip dies are very heavy. I store mine in a rack on their sides. I fan fold my fabric to get as long of strips as I want using the strip die. I also cut bias strips with the regular strip die. I have the Stripology ruler and June Taylor. They are okay but why have the Go and not get all the use out of it. And less dangerous then the rotary for anyone.
