This may be a repeat. I wrote out a reply and hit SEND, but I don't see it here! Now I forget what I wrote. Here's some of it.
I love my Accuquilt GO!
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis.........some days my hands are weak and my fingers can't grip the rotary cutter. This helps me so much. The company gives free patterns and great instructions.

Love mine! I bought it (very gently) used on the Yahoo group Sewitsforsale.
I do like strips done with it - fast and always perfectly straight - but love it for odd shapes and triangles. If you do applique, it's so much faster than tracing/cutting. And I'd never have done my tumbler quilt if I had to cut arond templates for all those pieces. Triangles also are a breeze, with the corners snipped everything matches up so nicely for sewing.

I also love mine. Got it as a Christmas gift. I would never had spent that much money, but it is great. Love it for 2.5 inch strips. Cut out the Blazing Star and was sewing before I would have had half of the pieces cut by hand. Happy Birthday! :D
