Synove, I could Never justify the expense/investment but I've always read the accuquilt threads here with interest.
But life and time goes by, and I'm sharing my experience here.
https://www.quiltingboard.com/vbulle...s-t324152.html I goot a Go Electric last August. .
Updating from that time I LOVE my accuquilt, and even got the tiny one travel with us. I get up excited to use it!
Advice I might share at this date, Go to Accuquilt and read every page there, numerous times. It will save you so many questions and second guessing youself. Look through all the dies time and time again. watch the videos.
I did buy my Go Electric new because I wanted the warrenty, but I watched and got an excellent buy.
Because I looked at the dies so many times I pretty much knew what would work for my style. I still don't have the AQ strip dies as I only work with scraps, don't have yardage to strip
Accuquilt is Addictive. Ask anyone with long term ownership how many dies they have they've never used.
At least 1/2 of mine came from Ebay abnd a facebook quilters group.
and I took a workshop online on how to convert standard patterns to AQ. $40,00 but Priceless.
Just do your research at AQ, honestly that knowledge is preceless.
edited to add, Don't confuse Studio Accuquilt and regular Accuquilt machines and dies.
Know the difference
