I would consider selling the Accuquilt Go and buy the Go Big which is electric and has a lot of dyes with it that store in a 8" wide book like case for on a shelf. I, too, have had both shoulders operated on and cannot press on the rulers and cut with the rotary cutter. Another suggestion is, you can buy the fabrics already cut ready to sew. The jelly rolls are 2-1/2" wide by width of fabric and come with about 40-48 pieces. You can go to Youtube and see many illustrations by Jenny from Missouri Quilt Company. Some fabrics come cut into 5" squares, 10" squares, ready to sew. Hope you feel better and can enjoy quilting for years to come.
