When they first came out with the electric Accuquilt I started thinking about it because I loved my crank one so well. I could see where it could become diffcult to use the crank one. Several years ago I was at my favorite quilt shop up north and notice they were selling the dies for the Accuquilt at a good discount. I asked the owner what was going on and she was discontinuing carrying Accquilt because the company decided to keep certain popular dies only for sale on their web site. She asked me if would be interested a new Go Big. They weren't as expensive then as they are now and I got it 50% off plus all my Accuquilt supplies there are now alway 15% off because of buying the Go Big. Accuquilt backed off on it and she restocked and continues to sell them. I cutout five QOV's at once and only could do it because of the Accuquilt and my quilts are much more accurate and go together easier because of the accurate cutting.
