I also have the AccuQuiltGo and I watch for deals on the dies....Amazon, specials at quilt showes, etc. I would take mine anytime over the Baby Go. I use mine a lot and I bought it when it first came out. Love it!!!

My guild has the Studio, members can use it with the dies available or buy their own. Members have to furnish their own mats. I have the Go and Go Baby and use them both. If the quilt pattern I want to make has different size pieces I use EQ7 and redraft the pieces to fit the die. I have all the dies except a few applique ones. I cut freezer paper or vellem with some of the dies to make templates for string piecing on the templates then sewing the pieces together. Makes the applique fantastic and uses up the smallest scraps.

I suggest getting the GO! if you can afford it.

I got a Go Baby for Christmas, I really didn't think I would like it. I used it for the first time last Monday ...I do believe I am really going to like it.
If I was making strip quilts, I do believe I would buy the accuguilt cutter. My friend has one and loves it.

I have a GO and love it. I agree that the dies are quite expensive, but they have saved me so much time it has all been worth it. I would recommend it if you do a lot of quilting as it saves time on preparing the shapes so you can have the fun of piecing and quilting.

I have a Studio and a Go Baby. I had a Go and sold it to trade up to the Studio. I am also considering selling my Go Baby since I haven't used it either.
I bought the cutter to be able to make the more difficult shapes like tumblers (on my to-do list) and have bought a strip cutter as well. Also, want to buy Ebony Love's custom strip die, but have to save for it.
