I have a Accuquilt Go as well, with far too many of their dies, and sadly I feel I get better results if I cut them myself. I find that I get more accurate results when I properly prepare my fabric (starch and pressing) take my time and get into the zen zone, use a good ruler (love quilters select rulers) and write down each piece I’m cutting on scrap paper, and place the paper on top of the finished pieces before moving onto the next. It’s easy for my eyes to wander if I’m looking at the requirements directly from the pattern. I find that proper prep of fabric results in more accurate cutting, more accurate cutting results in more accurate piecing, more accurate piecing results in more accurate blocks and more accurate blocks results in a more accurate finished product. For myself, I want my time and efforts and the money spent, to end with more than acceptable results.
