That is a good price, free shipping and no tax....at least until July 1st I think...in Texas. We will have to pay tax from then on. Thank you Governor Perry! One reason we go to the net to shop is so we don't have to pay sales tax....
I have the Big Accuquilt machine and have enjoyed it...sometimes I wonder if the smaller version would do just as well...I know it would take up less space.

I purchased an Accuquilt cutter and I have never regretted it. I love it! You can get it on sale at Sewforless.com for $199 quite often. That is how I purchased mine. There are several places you can go to to get the dies on sale at very reasonable prices. Yes it is worth the money and more. I have can cut very accurately now and make many different quilt patterns that I other wise would not try. The rag dies are worth their weight in gold! I have Lupus, RA, AS, IBM, etc and I would never be able to do quilting if I did not have this. When ever I see a die at a very low price I grab it and add to my collection. The people at Accuquilt are fantastic and there are tons of videos on their web site, youtube and other places where you can get tips and such. They have many patterns available also for free and to purchase. i now can do my mariners compass and other quilts because I have it. I would never do a rag before and now I have made many and helped new quilters make their first rag quilt because it is easy and fun. Becuase the rag dies are a bit harder to run thru, we have them men help with that. They have fun doing it. Now some of my friends are in love with quilting and are looking forward to their next project. I highly recommend it!

Thank you for the information, i do not have the go, but these prices are great, i have been looking at the go versus the alto cutting system, i love doing log cabins, strip quilts, so i am not sure what i want yet.

thank you

I think y'all have helped me talk myself out of one. I too have been looking at the Go. I don't think I would use it enough to get my money's worth out of it.

Look at Quilting Warehouse too - they are having dies on super sale also.

At that price run and buy it.

As for dies go to eBay and buy bundles of dies. That is how I got 99% of my Go dies by buying bundles and bidding or offering a price of no more than 60% retail although I got most of them at 50% retail buying like that. I do the same for the mats. I find sellers with Best Offer and buy at least 10 mats of one kind at a time to get at least 40-45% off retail.

I love my GO. I do alot of applique so having the go with the dies is alot of fun. I do have to agree that the dies are expensive but once you have them they last. There are 4 of us in town here with them so we all share our dies. That is a big help. Its not something I use on a daily basis but it sure is fun to have. 1 lady just got the chicken die and I brought it home and made chickens in all different colors. If you iron on the fusible webing before cutting after its cut you just peel off the paper and your ready to applique. I hope you get it. You will love it.

Bought one kept it less than a year and SOLD it on ebay. I was totally disappointed with it and the waste. It was so difficult to crank that I actually hurt my wrist trying, and the fabrics were often off grain in the dies. Also the pads wear out rather quickly, and get threads caught in the cutlines which are difficult to remove. Personally prefer the Alto 2 system, and it was less money.

I LOVE my Accuquilt! I tell everyone I know about it!

I am a ninja with my rotary cutter. I decided against buying one because I did not want to buy tons of dies and I am pretty certain the system would limit me. I also use different techniques and the Accuquilt Go and systems like it remind me of template sewing. I could definitely see using it if I had problems with cutting so maybe in the future?
