It's a real time saver if you have to cut lots of pieces at once.

Wish I could afford the electric one, though. But that will never happen! I'd have to get all new dies, and they cost a fortune!


All
the Go dies will fit in the Electric Go Big.

That was what I am worried about with the tendonitis in my arm. Would love the Big cutter but with our dreadful Canadian dollar, it's WAY too much money.

I like the Accuquilt Go but....I love my June Taylor rulers, I can't live without them. I find that the Go works best with odd shapes.

It's too bad one cannot somehow go "around" the US $ vs. Canadian $..........

Some have a lot of spending money some have a little or none. That is a fact and nothing to get offended about.

Oh, how I wish! Really should have bought one of these a few years ago when the exchange rate was much more favourable. Oh well.

I had the Go manual cutter and gave it away and bought the Go Big Electric. Shoulder wouldn't take cranking any more. All my Go! dies work on the Go Big! I have the strip dies from 1" up to 6" and I can make some really neat jelly rolls out of my scraps in a short amount of time. And without pain.
