Thumbs up

I have a Sizzix Big Shot Pro but can use Go and Studio dies on it. I have a lot of strip dies but seldom use those. Many people like cutters for the strip dies and that is why I ended up with those dies. The dies I use the most and have now collected a good number of are dies that will make multiples of quarter square triangles, half square triangles, triangles for flying geese, dies that cut small squares 4, 3 and 2 1/2 inch, 5 inch. Also curved dies like for wedding ring quilt blocks and drunkards path. Maybe first collect dies that make different 12 inch blocks, so 6, 4,3 and 2 1/2 inch squares, also dies that make 3x6 inch geese, 4 inch half square triangles, 3 inch half square triangles finnished to make those stars. It is hard to say what fits your needs. I strongly prefer large dies that cut multiples of the same thing and seldom use dies that cut only one square, triangle etc. I do really like a die cutter and they help if you have issues cutting like osteo in the wrist etc.
