    I don't have the Go, but I don't think the Go uses the iron on stabelizer does it? Might be good for applique that the Go might not be able to do. Like I said I don't have either.

    Looks interesting but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify the expense.

    It seems to be in a more affordable price - range than some.

    What is wrong with tracing a pattern and cutting it out with scissors??? lots cheaper.....no matter how complex I can use a fusible and trace, iron and cut...letters, numbers, animals, whatever....

    You CAN iron on fusible and cut with the Go. I suspect that if I'd known I could use GO dies with Cricut, I might have bought the Cricut instead of the GO simply because of cost. I am very happy with my Go, though.

    I saw one of those cutters at Tuesday Morning store, the blue one, at a discount price. I thought it would be a good silent auction item for the guild fundraiser and bought it. Still in box waiting for the auction. The members will love having it to bid on and I finished with my part for the fundraiser. I have the Go and it does all I need it to do. I cut fusible, card stock for templates, fabric, interfacing, anything I can cut with scissors I cut with the Go.

    Nothing wrong with doing it the long way. But I don't like cutting with scissors, too boring and tedious. I like using the new tools. :D
