I got the go years ago....and now have several of the dies.....I find I use my 2.5 inch strip die the most....as I use 2.5 wide strips for all my binding.....I also have 1 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2 inch strip dies.....I like the dies that have multiples of the same size strip as that makes it fast to cut the numbers I need....I did not get the larger sized strip cutters cuz I figure I can still cut a 3.5 strip fairly accurately and you usually don't need as many of the wider sized strips anyway. I have only used the 1 inch strip cutter a few times but having the die sure saved me a few grey hairs....I also have 2, 2.5, 3.5, and 5 inch squares....these sizes are sizes I commonly use and sometimes I just pile my scraps on the die send them through...you can cut 54 2.5 inch squares with one pass...I also have picked up some of the triangle dies and a few of the specialty ones like tumbler blocks and drunkard's path....I usually try and pick up the dies and mats when there is a sail...and will sometimes add one to get the free shipping or if no dies I want...I just add in a few of the cutting mats to get to the price needed for free shipping. Cutting mats last a long time but eventually need to be replaced
