I havent seen anyone mention Accuquilt’s newest cutter here yet, so thought i would give my opinion.

I gave myself the new Accuquilt GO Bolt for Christmas and im really happy with it! I wore out two Accuquilt GO ME machines, and have an Accuquilt GO. They are all hand-crank machines and worked well. However, due to a hand injury a little over a year ago (fractured two of the small finger bones close to my wrist) the hand cranking was just getting too painful. The injury has been quite discouraging - to the point where i wondered if maybe my quilting days might be over. I told my husband that maybe i should consider selling all my stuff and just be done with it. He didnt think that was the best idea i ever had. We talked about it and I decided to wait a little on that decision. He asked me what i wanted for Christmas - maybe something that might help? I told him about the new BOLT cutter and he agreed since it was electric it might be worth trying.

So i ordered it and i really like it and it helps! I didnt want the GO BIG which is also electric because its BIG. I just dont have that much room in my Happy Place, plus the price tag didnt seem reasonable for somebody who wasnt even sure if she would continue quilting. That thought was killing me cuz i have been quilting for over 30 years and it brings me so much joy that not quilting would break my heart.

Anyway, the GO Bolt takes up a fraction of the footprint of the GO BIG. Its much more reasonable in price, and its lightweight enough that it doesnt hurt my hand to move or carry it! The dies i already have for the GO ME/GO all work in the BOLT.

Thats my opinion for what its worth!
