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:

Just watched the video, this is awesome! Might have to start saving my pennies. :)

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.

I agree !! |
One would have to do a lot of cutting to justify $500 price.
