I bought the Go cutter about 2010 or 2011 at a quilt show.And I love it! I have over 80 dies (but that is because I also have an embroidery machine and love a lot of their designs.). It's definitely an investment but my opinion is, definitely well worth it. I now won't make a quilt unless there is a die for it. You can convert so many pattern blocks into an Accuquilt pattern and if you buy a cutter from them they send a book with 72 blocks in it. But I think all the information is on the website. 2 years ago I bought the Studio 2 which takes the larger dies - would like to get the GO BIG electric cutter but do not have a plug in my sewing room I could dedicate to it. You can use an extension cord but they don't recommend it so I went with the Studio 2. I go the small GO ME because it was free if you spent so much money.
I find the best place to use the cutters are at a bar height - hope that makes sense. It works fine on a kitchen table height but I am 5'8" and that may be why. In my sewing room I have my Studio 2 my treadle machine since I rarely use it.
If you could afford the GO BIG and have the room for it I would recommend it. My GO ME was so hard to use the first few times I used it - but it works fine now. Same with the GO and the Studio 2. About 70% of all the dies will fit in the GO ME and you just need to make sure you don't get the larger dies. Since my Studio 2 is set up I keep my GO packed up and ready to travel. I take it along on vacation and to friends' homes that want to use it. A friend and I cut out a DWR King size quilt in about 2 hours using my GO cutter and dies. I love the triangle dies - no more dog ears to trim. And I can cut out the 2.5 inch binding for a queen size quilt in one pass through a GO using the die,
I think it works best when you starch the fabric for triangles - no stretching. I could ramble on for hours about the benefits of Accuquilt.
