Those of you with wrist/shoulder/arm issues who want a cutting machine,
 
Accuquilt is coming out with a new one in November. I believe it's called the Go! Big. This could be a boon to those who have difficulties with manually turning the crank on a Go!, Go Baby, or Studio cutter. Here is a link to a video about the Big:

Nice but pricey. I would have to quilt a lot more and sell them to justify it. BUT, hats off to anyone that gets it

Wonderful tool to use for anyone with health issues. Like arthritis and so on.
Don't know much about the products, but I believe it is worth keeping an eye on.
It is expensive, but could be worth saving or a nice gift for Christmas. (How many of us have received costly gifts and didn't use them or wore them expensive earrings just once).

Thanks for sharing this info with us

I have arthritis and had a Go! cutter and did not use it as it was very difficult for me. I said to a friend that I would wait a couple of yrs and by that time they would figure out a way to do this with a power source....THEN I would find the cutter worth the investment ..... by the time you buy the dies and the doo dahs, it is a serious investment. I'll keep my eye out for this one in NOV....thnks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo glad I saw this! I was going to pick up a GO at their home location but didn't line up our trip return with the hours they are open. I now will wait till this new one is available! I have been waiting for an electric one for several years now. Woo Hoo!

I knew that they would eventually add electric power to it. Of course I have the studio and can't afford to buy this one since I'm on limited income, but I think it would be worth the investment. I have been bugging my hubby for years to "motorize" my studio, but he hasn't yet. Maybe I should "threaten" to buy the new one. lol
Thanks for sharing the info.

Me thinks you will have to save more than pennies.

One would have to do a lot of cutting to justify $500 price.
