Accuquilt Go Cutter
Does anyone out there have the Accuquilt cutter and if so what do you think of it. What is everyone's opinion on this item. Would you buy or not? All advice and opinions greatly appreciated. I am not an advanced piecer or quilter.

I have the Sizzix Big Shot Pro and the Big Shot. However I use mostly Accuquilt dies. I absolutly love it. It is not portable like the Accuquilt Go but I have the small one to take with me if I need to and I a have place to put the Big Shot Pro. I just had to cut 448 triangles for a mystery quilt with the rotary cutter and my arm and shoulder is feeling it. I think I'm getting a little spoiled by the die cutting machine.

I absolutely love my GO cutter. I've had it for about 2 years. Once I broke the handle - all my own fault - called them up and in 2 days I had the replacement handle and explicit instructions to install it. Also had a note that if I did have any problems installing the handle to please call them and they would walk me through it. Being as the broken handle was all my fault, I was very willing to pay for the replacement handle. They said absolutely not - so the whole process was free.
You can cut your quilts out so much faster, and the pieces fit so perfectly together so you can piece the whole quilt much easier, too. I cut over 450 2 1/2" squares for a 9 patch quilt in about 1/2 hour.
Did I say I LOVE IT?

I have the Accuquilt and I too love it. I don't feel that it is flimsy at all. Some people get over zealous and try to cut more layers than possible and that is usually when the machines break.

I have an Accuquilt Go and I do love it. I agree do not try to cut more than the recommended amout of layers and you should do just fine. Worth the cost esp. if you have heath issues when cutting buy hand.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize you can break the handle when you push too much through. Thanks for that tip. I use a friend's and recently was too busy chatting with her bent her giant tray for her studio. I gave her the money to replace it. But I've been lucky so far that I haven't broken her Go also. Note to self-pay attention and don't try to do too much.
