Check out the YouTube videos made by Ebony Love of Love Bug Studio. She shows you how to mark, store and maintain your dies; how to place the fabric on them to get the best cuts an minimize waste; and lots of other tips and techniques on all the versions of Accuquilt cutters. She also publishes books on die cutting that are very helpful. There is a Facebook group called Accuquilt and Beyond that you can join. There is a lot of information and help available there from friendly/helpful people. There is also an Accuquilt sales group on Facebook where you can buy new and used dies.

If you do your research and watch the videos available, you will be able to fully use the Go Big and enjoy every minute of it. For those of use with aging joints and other medical issues, these cutters are wonderful. I have a Studio and it's one of the best "tools" in my sewing room. The cutting dies can be expensive, however, if you compare the cost of buying several replacement rotary cutter blades versus buying a die one time, I think you'll find it could be a better bargain.
