And last, there are many, many dies for the Studio, and they will custom cut anything you want.
Anyway, those were my reasons for choosing the Studio. I also create and sell custom quilts, so my use is more than personal.

I have decided to limit the amount of layers to 3 when I cut - easier to turn the crank with arthritis. Rough cut the fabric then position over the die, very little fabric waste.

After playing and learning with the GO, I am enjoying it. Many lessons learned on cutting trying different things with what I call junk fabric, or fabric that I use to lead in on my sewing machine as it has to warm up before moving - needle. Silly machine. But it is heavy duty.

The lady in our LQS has a studio and she only charges 5.00 a half hour to cut fabric.She can cut alot of fabric in a half hour.SOOOO I think that is the cheapest way for me to go.Also I buy the pre- cut fabric like Jelly rolls etc.I can not cut straight to save my life and I bought the visigrip!Beats me why I can't cut straight? Of course I am a newbie!

I have the Go! my hubby bought it for me for my birthday.. I LOVE it.. I love the accuracy.. I agree with not enough dies but I love them an use them all.. I have all the dies but the strips and a few of the new ones that just came out.. But with the holidays around the corner Im sure by the first of next year Ill have those too!!!
I use for personal, I don't sell my quilts, I make to donate & give away, so I don't need the Quantity that the Studio provides.. I can cut up to 5 fabrics at a time with mine..
Love it.... Love it....Love it.....
