I agree, we used to have some stores here that would loan you their cutting machines for about 20 an hour, you can get a lot done in a hour. But if you are no longer making quilts I'd try to find one to rent or borrow or get someone to help you. You'll never re coup your cost if you sell the machine. If you lived closer, I'd let you borrow mine. I never use it any more.

Happy for you to be retiring and hopefully you will enjoy your free time but I do have a suggestion on your stash. You might want to reconsider getting rid of it. At a later date you may want to make something and not have that right fabric. If you have someplace to store it I feel you will be happy that you did hang onto it. Good luck and enjoy retirement.

I also own this machine and really like it. I do have a good amount of die cutters and use my machine frequently. You do need a designated area as this particular machine is big and heavy. Also like others mentioned and suggested, I would keep the stash. Buy the cutter to help you use the stash.

Agree, find creative way to hide your stash you'll need a hobby when retired. I have both the crank Go and just got the Big electric Go. I got tired of the crank and the ware on my wrist. Love the ease of the Electric but I waited for a sale thru Accuquilt which was 50.00 off and free shipping. But like most it gets used only when I'm overwhelmed w/excess misc leftover pieces. I should really get more organized and zip those pieces thru the machine at the end of the day...Hummm there's an idea.
Storage ideas...hang large pieces in your closet on hangers, under bed storage, stackable bins in the corner of closet or rm, Iris 14x14x4 clear storage boxes are great and when on sale at Michael's as low as 3.00 each is what I store in and then vertical stack in a bookcase. Those boxes hold a lot of yardage.
