I have an Accu Go and I love it. It saves wear and tear on my hands.

I bought my Accuquilt GO over a year ago. It is one purchase I have made for my quilting tools that I have never regretted. In fact, I can't get enough of it. Every spare minute I have I am cutting or quilting. My first quilt with the GO was a king size 9 patch. I needed 450 2 1/2" squares. It cut them all in about 15 minutes, and they were perfect. When they are cut perfect like that they sew together so perfectly. I did not have to square up any of my 9 patch blocks, and I hate squaring up. I've had the Alto for years and quit using it because I didn't think it worked.
If there is any way to afford it, go for the GO. If I could afford it I would go for the Studio because it cuts more layers, and they have more dies. I am totally happy with the GO, and I don't have room for the dedicated space the Studio cutter requires, but I would like to be able to choose from more dies.
If you have any questions about the GO, let me know and I will help you as much as I can.

I have a quietly cut and I love it, I would never give it up. It is so accurate and easy to use, and a lot cheaper than the accuquilt. The dies are so expensive. If you do a search for the quilt cut and you will see so many positive comments about it. Owners love it.
